What we found (1)

NBC News reports that Israeli police arrested 10 people over a weekend of settler attacks on Palestinian farmers, activists, an American journalist and European diplomats, and it names settlers as the attackers. The headline turns one American journalist into "Americans" and puts the Palestinian farmers, whom the body lists first, under "others". Most of the captured page is subscriber promotion rather than reporting.

  1. Headline goes beyond the article

    Minor

    “hits Americans and others”

    Why this matters
    The headline says the attacks hit "Americans", plural, and puts the Palestinian victims under "others".
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes several Americans were the main targets and that Palestinians were incidental to the attacks.
    The context
    The body names one American journalist. It lists Palestinian farmers first among the people attacked, and other outlets report masked settlers attacking Palestinians harvesting olives.

    How we know

    Show it in the article

What it gets right

  • “violent settler attacks”

    The headline names settlers as the attackers and calls the attacks violent, rather than writing of clashes or tensions.

  • “attacks against Palestinian farmers”

    The body names Palestinian farmers as victims first, ahead of the foreign targets.
