DOMINANT ANGLE

Ottawa turns the conflict into an individual story — a baby killed during her father's funeral makes the war impossible to abstract

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media

ANALYSIS

Ottawa covers the Lebanon bombardment with the humanism that characterizes Canadian media — and this time, it takes the form of a baby. The Globe and Mail opens with the story of Aline Saeed, 7, wrapped in bloodied bandages, who survived the first strike that killed her father. She returned for the funeral, and a second strike killed her infant sister and other relatives. By personalizing victims, the Globe and Mail makes it impossible to read '18 dead in strikes' as an abstraction. Every Toronto reader now knows a baby died during her father's burial.
