In the magazine ”The Journalist” (Journalisten in Swedish) a number of journalists and media professionals have signed a debate article about the reporting on Gaza by Swedish newspapers and in media. This is the first paragraph in this article:
”When it comes to news reporting on Gaza, the deadliest place for civilians in the world, we see a fatal failure. Israel is presented as a democracy that fights terrorists, while the people who are subjected to horrible war crimes – and those who protest against these crimes – are labeled as troublemakers or, in the worst case, as anti-Semites, write over 70 journalists, authors and writers in a debate post.”
The article is available in Swedish at: https://www.journalisten.se/debatt/rapporteringen-om-gaza-ar-ett-fatalt-misslyckande/
One of the professionals who has signed this debate article is Evelina Rönnbäck, international documentary photographer and freelance writer as well as member of the Another Development Foundation Advisory Group.
This article is needed in Sweden due to the shortcomings of the Swedish newspapers and other media organisations.
