Warrior Stands Up for Israel at Westside

Westside junior Sasha Denenberg noticed that a recent edition of the Westside Wired student paper contained an article that started with the line, "Gaza is home to one of the world's most current genocides...", with no citation. It wasn't presented as an opinion piece, but a news story.

She spend several days working not only with sources for a counter-article, but administration to allow her to publish a follow-up piece, which the school put under "Opinion," with disclaimers that were not present in the first article (they're there now).

Was this anti-Semitism, or just poor oversight by Westside's journalism department? I talk with Sasha about it -- CLICK HERE to listen to our conversation.
