The Toronto Star changes article to better highlight situation for Palestine


Just Peace Advocates wrote to the newly appointed Toronto Star Public Editor Donovan Vincent about the inaccuracy of the October 9, 2022, Associated Press/AP article in the Star:

Israeli troops hunt for shooter in deadly Jerusalem attack

Subsequently, Donovan Vincent replied:

Upon review, I’ve decided that I agree with you in part.

We won’t be changing the headline, but I do feel the story needs to get to the context of the deaths of the young Palestinians faster, so I have moved up that paragraph in the story.

In the past we had been told by previous Star Public Editor Bruce Campion-Smith that AP headlines can be changed, but content concerns are shared with AP.
