COMMENTS: Slums of Mumbai & Gaza
A pair of Third World slums made news, one depressing, the other exhilarating. The slums of Mumbai became newsworthy after Hollywood honored Slumdog Millionaire, the movie shot there using "actual Mumbai street kids," as NBC's George Lewis pointed out. Lewis happened to cover the movie's exhilarating success after his own network aired the Gold Globe Awards, where Slumdog was honored. CBS was the only network to assign a reporter to the continuing fighting in the Gaza Strip as the death toll now exceeds a depressing 900. "The Israeli war cabinet is reportedly split on whether the push further into Gaza's urban areas and cause more civilian casualties--or declare victory and stop," reported Mark Phillips.
