News Analysis 2

Breast cancer activists march in Jerusalem

 

Informative vs. Superficial:
 the article was very informative. it described the who, where, what, and when.
according to the article, 5,000 women marched in Jerusalem on Thursday, October 28th. the goal of the march was to raise awareness about breast cancer.


Accurate and Truthful vs False and Deceptive:
 I believe that the article is accurate and truthful. the reporter uses several quotes, that make the article accurate. An example for a quote is: "Most of the population is very aware about the disease and are checking themselves regularly, but there is a very big problem of awareness within the Arab population, in very religious Jewish communities, and among the Ethiopians," spokeswoman Racheli Goldblat told AFP. 

Objective vs Biased:
 in my opinion the article is mostly objective. Most of the article focuses on the important information, such as the amount of women who marched, the famous people who attended the march, and the statistics in Israel regarding breast cancer. 


Pluralistic vs Insular Viewpoint:  
 In the article there is an insular viewpoint, since the article does not address the issue of family problems that can be caused among Arab communities due to breast cancer.


Balanced vs Weighted Side: 
the article was somewhat balanced since it mostly reported the event, but also mainly appealed to women.
