Killing Of Journalists By Israel: Journalist Resigns Over Reuters Silence
By Balarabe Alkassim, Abuja with agency report
Canadian journalist Valerie Zink has quit Reuters after eight years.
She said that, Reuters coverage has served as a conveyor belt for Israeli propaganda while journalists in Palestine’s Gaza are deliberately targeted and killed.
She also pointed to the case of Al Jazeera’s Anas Al Sharif, whose reporting won Reuters a Pulitzer Prize, yet the agency failed.
“I can no longer wear my Reuters press pass without deep shame and grief,” she said.
At least 20 Palestinians, including five journalists and a firefighter, were killed in Israel’s Nasser Hospital massacre on August 25 in Gaza.
