Othello

News article for Othello?

I have to write a news article on an event of the abuse of either Desdemona or Emilia, having a hard time picking one of the events to make a news article about. Suggestions please?

Othello is pretty abusive to his Desdemona. His anger towards her is fueled by paranoia and chaos. If you examine Act 4 sc 2, Othello calls the innocent Desdemona a whore and a strumpet,

OTHELLO

Are you not a strumpet?


DESDEMONA
No, as I am a Christian.
If to preserve this vessel for my lord
From any other foul unlawful touch
Be not to be a strumpet, I am none.


 OTHELLO
What, not a whore?
