Journalist: Israel Killed My Colleagues and Reuters Justified It — So I Quit.

 

Canadian photojournalist Valerie Zink publicly resigned from Reuters in a now-viral tweet, in protest of the outlet's coverage of her colleagues assassinated by Israel. Reuters ran a story claiming Anas Al-Sharif, whose work for Reuters won the outlet a Pulitzer Prize, was a Gaza militant with zero evidence, and that was the breaking point for Valerie Zink. “Even if that were true—which it wasn’t—you bomb a hospital and kill 20 people to target a camera? It’s a travesty. It’s unforgivable.” She tells BT’s Rania Khalek this is because the Reuter’s “has never cared about Palestinian lives, Black lives, or Indigenous lives. Their priority is profit.”
