How baba News Handles Arutz Sheva
Every story is grouped with the other newsrooms that reported the same event. Arutz Sheva arrives with its own headline rendered in English, its place on the left-to-right scale, and the filing time that shows whether it moved first or followed. Where one side of the press ran a story and another did not, the side that stayed quiet is named.
baba News does no original reporting and does not reproduce Arutz Sheva’s article text. It writes a short English summary, labelled as its own, and links to the original with the publisher’s advertising and paywall intact.
