Soliman Hijjy, a Palestinian journalist in Rafah, says he and his colleagues are determined to keep reporting on the suffering in Gaza despite losing many colleagues and family members to the war. “As journalists we must document everything: The killing of children and entire families, the destruction of houses and buildings,” Hijjy told Al Jazeera. “The situation is very tough but we must do our job.” He said the work of Palestinian journalists covering wars in Gaza is different […]

India is creeping closer to a general election next year at a time that the mainstream media there is growing more and more toxic. That assessment comes from one of its most prominent journalists, Ravish Kumar, who spent nearly 30 years in the studios of NDTV, a national news channel that stuck to a centrist line while other channels veered to the right – either willingly or under pressure from the government of Narendra Modi and his party – the BJP. Here at the Listening Post we’ve documented that shift – TV hosts getting louder, more sycophantic, more anti-Muslim by the day – effectively proving Ravish Kumar’s argument. He spoke […]

The Sinclair Broadcast Group has come under fire following the spread of a video showing anchors at its stations across the United States reading a script criticising “fake” news stories. Typically, the Sinclair editorials do not make much of an impact. But when Timothy Burke, a video editor in Tampa, Florida, collected 44 versions of that editorial – from 44 local news markets, and lay them side by side, allowing Americans to play them back, word for word, the effect was chilling. The reaction was: just what is Sinclair? Unlike Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, Sinclair does not own a national news network so its brand is not that well […]
