Shortly after CJPME sent this letter alerting the journalist at The Coast of two factual errors in her recent article, she agreed to make all the requested edits. Prior to our letter, the article stated that Hamas broke through the “Israel-Gaza fence” on Oct. 7. The article has sense been updated to read “Israel-Gaza boundary” and links to an informative article CJPME referenced in the original letter, which explains why this boundary is referred to as an “apartheid wall.” Later in the article, the journalist had previously written that Israel’s attacks on Gaza have “left 22,000 dead.” Due to the inaccurate death toll and the passive language, the journalist agreed to change it to “…over 33,000 Palestinians killed.”
CJPME appreciates The Coast’s prompt response to our complaints.
