This is the first time since the Nuremberg trials that media executives have been found guilty of genocide.

The story is just now being posted at the online news outlets. Here is a link to the story at the Washington Post. I find their headline quite curious:


Rwandan Media Workers Guilty of Genocide

Since when are news directors, editors, and senior station executives "media workers"?

Maybe the idea of media executives being held accountable for their acts in this case hits too close to home for the Post editor who dreamed up that term? By comparison, the NYT headline is the one I copied and pasted into the thread title here.

I still can't figure out why no government or the UN didn't intervene to stop this genocide.
