CAMERA Op-Eds and Letters
CAMERA Op-Ed: Reuters’ Questionable “Integrity”
CAMERA Op-Ed: On the Oslo Anniversary, NPR as Usual
Headlines Miss Again
CAMERA mourns the loss of life in Baghdad and Jerusalem, as once again terrorists target the innocent. As CAMERA has previously documented, a striking discrepancy is often apparent in the way newspaper headlines characterize Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians versus Israeli military attacks against Palestinians involved in terrorism.

CAMERA Op-Ed : The European Disease
Among the stunning side-effects of the past three years of Middle East violence has been the flood of crude, defamatory attacks on Israel in influential European media.
CAMERA Op-Ed: Access and Ethics at the New York Times

CAMERA Op-Ed: Media’s Selective Martyrology
Coverage of the story of Rachel Corrie, the American college student and Palestinian advocate killed by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza while attempting to block a house demolition, followed predictable trends.
