Read both: ThePrint and The Guardian tell the Suu Kyi call very differently

I think this story is a good example of why GONOM compares outlets. Same phone call, two different stories.

The Guardian gives the human side: the son, the emotion, then his view that it is a PR move. ThePrint, carrying Reuters, gives the official side: the embassy in London, government photos, the Red Cross visit, the 18-year sentence.

If you only read one, you get only half. Indian readers got mostly the mechanics. British readers got mostly the family. I am a bit skeptical of both, honestly. Neither tells us if the calls will continue, which is the only thing that really matters for her.
