Demonstration -Some 10,000 people take to the streets again in the Canary Islands to protest against mass tourism
“Several demonstrations have taken place on Sunday in the main tourist areas of the Canary Islands to protest against the “excesses” of tourism, overcrowding, the housing market crisis and what they consider to be the inaction of the Canary Islands Government. The protests have brought together some 6,500 people in Playa de Las Américas, in the south of Tenerife, and another 1,500 in Maspalomas, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, as well as hundreds of demonstrators in Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and La Palma, according to data from the Government Delegation in the Canary Islands. According to the organisers, between 26,000 and 31,200 people attended the demonstration called in Tenerife.”

“The photo they used yesterday as the front page/the photo they could have used. Journalism? #CanariasTimeisLimited”
Some traditional media have used the first image provided to feed the narrative that the protests were aggressive/confrontational towards the holiday-makers.

AtanTenerife analysis of media headlines and the pro-tourism perspecive they appear to take
AtanTenerife collects the headlines of local Canarian papers and displays te deliberate language used which paints the protestors in a negative light. AtanTenerife shows how more positive perspectives such as the friendly conversations between tourists and demonstrators are not being published. Furthermore, AtanTenerife points out the selective outrage of the media.
