An academic study carried out by Roosevelt University in the US has concluded that Reuters' coverage of the Middle East conflict is systematically biased in favour of the Palestinians.
The study, which took three months, claims to have found over 1,100 "ethical" or "reporting" failures in a sample of 50 Reuters articles.
The "failures" were divided into three broad categories - "propaganda", "logical fallacies" and "violations of Reuters' charter" - and then split into 41 further subcategories.
Head researcher Henry Silverman detected a significant shift in audience attitudes in the Palestinians' favour once the articles had been read.
