Compare and Contrast, the Rebecca Belmore version
Howdy!
The CBC reports Aboriginal artist selected to represent Canada at 2005 Venice Biennale. The Globe and Mail reports Belmore to represent Canada at Biennale.
While the CBC version is longer (390 words to 123 words) the Globe and Mail is actually more informative. They write who was responsible for making the decision, while the CBC turns it into a puff piece about how powerful and graceful Rebecca Belmore's work is.
