Moroccan journalism remains trapped between state dependency and market pressure, and its survival may depend on turning information into sustainable public value rather than cheap content for clicks.

A Palestinian journalist and mother recounts surviving Gaza’s genocide, where the press vest became a target, motherhood became terror, and staying alive did not feel like salvation.

An analysis of 180 articles from the BBC, The Guardian, The New York Times and CNN found that coverage of hunger in Gaza frequently linked the crisis to political decisions and identified responsibility rather than treating it only as a humanitarian emergency. Tracking the same outlets through early August 2026 also shows that this coverage came in sharp waves, with periods of intense reporting separated by months of limited attention even as severe food insecurity persisted.

Editors once decided which stories mattered based on evidence, public interest and ethics. Today, recommendation algorithms and engagement metrics increasingly shape editorial decisions, prioritising what keeps audiences scrolling.

From documenting the occupation's crimes on social media platforms to covering the war of genocide on Al Jazeera, journalist Anas Al-Sharif defied harsh field conditions and the lenses of snipers. He lost his father and a number of his loved ones, yet he chose to convey the "Palestinian narrative to the world." In this interview, we get to know the face and features of a Palestinian journalist stripped of protection and faithful to the belief that "coverage continues."

Israeli media incitement has helped frame Palestinian journalists as security threats, weakening their legal and professional protection and legitimising attacks against them. Legal accountability is possible through the ICC, universal jurisdiction, and professional pressure against journalists and outlets that incite violence.
