Irresponsible Albalad
April 27, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

A centrist newspaper takes sensationalism a bit too far.
We are in a very sensitive situation. Everyone, including politicians, is calling for restraint and for reframing the terrible crime as an opportunity to resume dialog.
Enter Albalad, a “family” newspaper, with a gory frontpage image of the two defaced bodies of the victims.
Nothing can explain such irresponsible behavior but sheer commercial opportunism. Albalad should be punished and ashamed for exploiting the blood of the deceased for material gain and for not caring about the consequences such images can have on the tense situation or on the feelings of the victims’ families.
