From underground newsletters during the Intifadas to livestreams from Gaza, Palestinian journalism has evolved into a decentralised digital practice of witnessing under occupation. This article examines how citizen journalists, fixers and freelancers have not only filled gaps left by international media, but fundamentally transformed how Palestine is reported, remembered and understood.

This article argues that the Palestinian context exposes the colonial roots of traditional journalism and calls for a decolonial approach that centers marginalized voices, promotes collaborative reporting, and demands structural change within newsrooms to uphold journalistic integrity.
