Hi there,

I would like to draw attention to the recent Yahoo News article published on 11 September 2022 by Nick Whigham titled "Story behind curious detail in photo of hospitalised Bali tourist: 'Afraid to die'".

The article clearly insinuates a danger in drinking alcohol in the island of Bali, Indonesia by referencing a case which happened in the island of Gili Trawangan - a completely different island within a completely different province of Indonesia.

This type of ignorance is akin to libel and could be very damaging for Bali - an island that has struggled in reviving its massively important tourism industry which has suffered greatly as a result of the COVID pandemic.

Please do educate your journalists (or at the very least, your editors) in basic geography before publishing such stories.

Regards,
C.A.
