De journalistiek ontkomt niet aan een innovatiespurt – of is het daar al te laat voor?

The BBC’s International Editor On The ‘Gaza War’

Media Lens

(...) As we have repeatedly said, Hamas and other Palestinians did indeed commit major war crimes in attacking and killing unarmed Israeli civilians. But Bowen’s article makes no mention of the trauma inflicted on the Palestinians by a brutal Israeli state over many decades. (...)

(...) I had naively believed that humanity’s problem was an information deficit. Shine a light and change would follow. Now, I began to see, while the pen might be mightier than the sword, the wallet is mightier than the pen. (...)

The mainstream media, with a few exceptions, is a single-issue lobby group, whose purpose is to assert the rights of capital.

But perhaps the ground is shifting. Citizen journalism is flowering, through the Bylines network, openDemocracy, Double Down News, Novara, Declassified and DeSmog, and in particular at the local level. (...)

Hoe de media hebben gefaald in hun berichtgeving over Gaza

Jacobin Nederland

(Tekst loopt door onder de spotprent.)

Spotprent met journalisten achter beeldscherm met gecorrigeerde tekst, die moorden door Israël afzwakt, bijvoorbeeld door ‘Israël vermoordt 16 Palestijnen’ te vervangen door ‘16 Palestijnen komen om’ en door ‘bij luchtaanval op school’ te vervangen door ‘bij luchtaanval in Gaza’

Gevestigde media presenteren zichzelf graag als waakhond van de macht. Hun verslaggeving van de genocide in Gaza laat echter zien dat zij vooral een spreekbuis van de macht zijn. Hoe hebben de media gefaald in hun missie, waarom is hun werk zo bevooroordeeld en welke lessen kunnen we hieruit trekken? (...)

We are witnessing the silencing of American media


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please log in.

The Guardian

From the Washington Post to CBS, companies are caving to Trump. This is how democracy dies. (...)

The silencing is happening across America because Trump cannot stand criticism, because he’s vindictive as hell, and because he’s willing and able to use every department and agency of the federal government to punish any media corporations or universities that allow criticism of him.

Shame on any media outlet or university that allows Trump to silence it.

Trump is a dangerous despot. America needs its Eduardo Porters, Stephen Colberts, and all others in the media and in academia who have helped the nation understand just how truly dangerous Trump is.

Owen Jones Battle Lines

(...) Israel’s military attacks on Gaza resumed yesterday, and bear in mind dozens of Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army since the so-called ceasefire began in January. All of this is being suppressed and misrepresented by most of the Western media, who once again, cannot do their basic in explaining the inarguable facts, because their coverage is so slanted in favour of pro-Israel narratives.

Jacobin

Hoe moeilijk is het voor Nederlandse journalisten om de dingen te benoemen zoals ze zijn? Erg moeilijk, zo blijkt deze week eens te meer. Zeker als het om Gaza gaat. (...)

Er lijkt een nieuwe vorm van politieke correctheid in het Nederlandse medialandschap waarin journalisten alles wat Palestijnen wordt aangedaan niet durven te benoemen met de daarvoor zorgvuldig ontwikkelde termen of eufemismen. (...)
