Tadek Solarz wrote that the Volkskrant had reported the day before that Greta Thunberg had joined the French student protests and that the NOS had emphasized that the majority of the protests were peaceful. On X, he had seen footage of a woman trying to defend her store against looters and of a shopkeeper who was assaulted and kicked in the back. According to Solarz, those images could symbolize a distressed France and broader unrest. He stated that the tone and image choices of the Volkskrant and the NOS gave violence a different place in the story than the images he saw on X, which focused on victims. The criticism that X algorithms amplify certain messages and thus distort the perception of reality, he believed, also applied to the selection made by newsrooms. Solarz wrote that the woman and her looted store could have been front-page news and that her fear could have become the face of the protests. #journalistiek #mediatheorie #protesten (translated)
