Maarten Bakker wrote that the NOS News, in his opinion, devoted attention throughout the day every half hour to hunger in Gaza and the deaths of the past three years, but ignored Israeli deaths. He stated that there was no attention given to the role of Hamas, Iran, and wealthy Arab neighboring countries in the aid provision. He also claimed that there was sufficient food, but that Hamas sold it on the black market, and he described a reused photo as staged. Bakker concluded that he still believed the reporting from the NPO was biased. https://t.co/hM0UpvLMFC #Gaza #media #Hamas (translated)

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)
