Tagging by religion

IN Media Watch Briefs | 05/08/2014

Is the Indian media too quick to categorize people by religion/community?  The Times of India Reuters report on the resignation of UK foreign minister Baroness Warsi, in protest at her government's policy on Gaza, is headlined "UK's Muslim minister Sayeeda Warsi quits over govt's Gaza policy". In the Jerusalem Post the same story is headlined "British minister Sayeeda Warsi resigns over government Gaza policy". The JP retained the original Reuters headline, although it changed the introductory paragraph.
