Yemen: Media battles, narrative divides



How the death of Ali Abdullah Saleh put the media spotlight on Yemen. Plus, a wave of political talk shows in Spain.


Covering Yemen and Saleh's death

The assassination of former president of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh was never going to be a straight-forward story to cover.
On Saudi Arabian news outlets, Saleh's killing by Houthi rebels has been used as a justification to continuing the bombing campaign that has been ongoing since 2015.
Meanwhile, pro-Houthi media have represented Saleh's savage end as a blow to Saudi efforts to overthrow them.
