Article 3
Headline: Two more states pull out of racism summit
Section: World Digest
Written by: ?
Page: 12
Outline: This is anews brief about the recently held 'Durban II' conference in Geneva.
The first thing wrong with this brief is the headline which refers to it as a "racism summit" implying perhaps that this a pro-racism summit when in fact it was a meeting convened to tackle racism. Whilst the body of the text does mention "anti-racism meeting" the headline has already set the scene in the readers minds and if they chose just to glance at the page rather than read each article then the words "racism summit" are more legible than "anti-racism meeting" which is buried in the text

The brief mentions that Holland and Australia pulled out of the summit and the rationale presented is out of fear of the summit being used to attack Israel and the West. It mentions that the Dutch Foreign Minister pulled out because of a fear of "Islamic states (trying) to ban religious defamation".
The brief is poorly written and the implication that Israel may be attacked at the conference makes readers seem that perhaps bullying is involved of poor Israel without presenting the context of the criticism of Israel i.e. that Non-Jewish people are denied certain rights in Israel such as not being able to live in Settlements illegally constructed on occupied Palestinian Land.
Artice Verdict: Negative
