[NYC-L] NY Times Headline: NATO Expanding Kosovo Forces to Combat Violence

[Albanian Students Assoc.]

I just came across the following article ("NATO Expanding Kosovo Forces to Combat Violence") at:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/19/international/europe/19KOSO.html?th       

and was upset to see such blatant bias and twisting of the truth.

Perhaps each individual should contact the editor at nytimes.com and point to their mistakes in the article.

Now, I'm not saying that there is no crime committed by the ethnic Albanians in Kosova. There definitely is but no way near the extent of which the article claims.

The problem with the article is that it gives an impression that
Albanians are the primary problem to all this violence; it does not state the Albanian side of the situation.  It is no way near accurate in portraying the opinions of both sides of the story.  

 

If you intent to write individually to nytimes editors please be polite and calm.

I would prefer if some US based organization drafted a sample response letter that can be sent to nytimes. Further, each individual can also send the letter to letters at nytimes.com or fax to (212)556-3622 to let them know that the public is not satisfied with their level of professional journalism.

 

You may also send your letter to:
