Nov 19, 2024 - Media Workers, Independent Journalism, and Palestine

When: November 19th, 7pm

Attacks on media workers and independent journalism in Palestine by the Israeli state have been widely reported and condemned by international human rights organizations. The killings, censorship, arrests, and ban on independent media reporting have severely restricted reporting on the war and presented a pro-Israeli slant in mainstream media newsrooms.

Journalists in Palestine and the broader Middle East face significant online harassment, threats, and smear campaigns when their work challenges mainstream narratives. The silencing of Palestinian voices and perspectives has created a media chill effect that will extend far beyond Gaza.
