June 26 2014: Articles of the day

Articles of the day is a simple concept that hopefully proves useful to readers. I am going to provide links to reports from a variety of media organisations and share what was interesting about the pieces and why I recommend reading them. Easy as that.

Luis Suarez. An article where powerful Uruguayans rally to the defence of the inexcusable player. Biting an opponent once is absurd. But three times? Surely it's time for footballers governing body to hit Suarez with a ban that will send a shiver down the culprits spine. Continuous biting along with racial abuse should not be condoned anywhere, especially not on the world stage of football at the highest level. Despite his associates leaping to his defence, Suarez' actions are intolerable and the player deserves everything he gets.

As we are aware many news reports are sombre. The Irish Independent tells the tragic story of a mother who lost her life in a fatal car crash. She was on route to her hen party; her friend was driving. Worth a read as it demonstrates how precious life is. It can be taken away from us in a flash.

This story is astonishing. Journalists from the distinguished media organisation Al Jazeera have been sentenced to prison for reporting events in Egypt. How can doing your job result in time behind bars? Journalism is not a criminal offence. Reading this article will provide us with an insight into the story from the people directly involved.
