Who will shine a light on the atrocities in Gaza if all the journalists are wiped out? | Owen Jones
The mass slaughter of media workers is a horror within a horror. Where is the outcry from the global journalistic community, asks Guardian columnist Owen Jones
The mass slaughter of journalists is one of those horrors. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), this is the deadliest conflict for media workers they have ever recorded. A total of at least 57 – comprising 50 Palestinian and seven foreign journalists – have suffered violent deaths; another 100 have been injured, all in just seven weeks. To put those numbers in perspective, according to the International Federation of Journalists, a total of 68 media workers were killed on a global scale in the whole of 2022.
The IDF have a long history of killing journalists and then lying about it. The ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not something they want publicised. When will the press speak out about the slaughter of its journalists ?
