On this page, the editorial team of the Al Jazeera Journalism Review will collect news published by media institutions about the current war on Gaza that involves disinformation, bias, or professional journalistic standards and its code of ethics.

How did The Washington Post's coverage differ between Israel’s bombing of Gaza hospitals and Iran’s strike on an Israeli hospital? Why does the paper attempt to frame Palestinian victims within a “complex operational context”? And when does language become a tool of bias toward the Israeli narrative?

In the accelerating context of genocide, is the “pace” of death in Gaza outstripping journalists’ ability to capture human stories? How can they be expected to take their time crafting narratives amid hunger, displacement, and death? And to what extent can postwar documentation hold journalistic value in preserving collective memory and pursuing accountability for the perpetrators?

Hungry journalists covering the story of starvation in Gaza, surviving on salt to stay alive, selling their work equipment to secure a “sack of flour” for their children, shedding the “shame” of publicly asking for food, and enduring the harshest media environment just to maintain “continuous coverage”.

Female journalists in Jordan are harnessing AI chatbots to boost productivity, enhance digital safety, and find emotional support, but their growing reliance also raises critical concerns about privacy, ethics, and the responsible use of emerging technologies in journalism. This article explores how these tools are reshaping their workflows while navigating the challenges of trust and accountability.

Obituaries for influential public figures have become a recognised journalistic genre, handled by seasoned reporters in major media outlets. How did this practice evolve, what defines it professionally, and how ethically acceptable is writing obituaries in advance?

Canadian mainstream media manufactures consent to support Israel through biased language, withholding historical context, and conflating any criticism of the Israeli state with antisemitism. When the Canadian mainstream media covers the question of Palestine, they usually frame it as a religious issue and withhold the historical and socio-political context.

Western media coverage of the war on Gaza does not stop at bias in what it chooses to publish; it practices a deeper form of bias: bias by omission. Testimonies are excluded, massacres are marginalized, and the narrative is reshaped to serve a single version of events. This analysis explores how “gatekeepers” in Western newsrooms play a direct role in silencing the Palestinian voice and entrenching the Israeli narrative.

Where does compassion end and journalism begin? How can one engage with children ethically, and is it even morally acceptable to conduct interviews with them? Palestinian journalist Reem Al-Qatawy offers a profoundly different approach to human-interest reporting. At the Hope Institute in Gaza, she met children enduring the harrowing aftermath of losing their families. Her experience was marked by intense professional and ethical challenges.

Can the media subject the issue of famine in Palestine to so-called professional balance even after UN agencies and the International Court of Justice have acknowledged it? Why have many Western media outlets avoided precise legal and ethical terms such as “famine” or “starvation,” opting instead for vague expressions like “food shortage” or “nutrition crisis”? Doesn’t this practice reflect a clear bias in favor of the Israeli narrative and serve to justify the policy of “systematic starvation”?

How did foreign journalists cover the killings in both Bosnia-Herzegovina and Rwanda? Did they contribute to conveying the truth and making an impact? Would the entry of foreign journalists into the Gaza Strip change the reality of the ongoing genocide? And would their coverage of the famine and massacres add to the daily coverage of local journalists? Why is the local press's coverage of wars seen as deficient compared to Western journalism, even though they incur greater losses and casualties?

Freelance journalists in India, particularly those reporting on marginalised communities and conflict zones like Kashmir, endure immense emotional and psychological strain, often without any institutional support. What are the hidden costs of reporting on violence, where telling the truth can come at a steep personal price?

When French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu was asked about the contribution of the suburbs to elections, he replied that decades of colonialism and complex problems cannot be summarised in 10 minutes. The value of social sciences in supporting journalism is demonstrated when they address issues of society, power, and identity for the sake of better journalism.

Journalism colleges in Somalia are struggling to survive due to outdated curricula, lack of practical training, insufficient funding, and a shortage of qualified educators, leading to declining student enrollment and interest. Despite efforts by institutions like Mogadishu University and Hormuud University to revive journalism education, these challenges persist, threatening the future of journalism in the country.

In the Philippines, archivists fight to preserve evidence of the country’s bloodied past, in hope that it will provide lessons for the future.

A study conducted on 12,000 American adults revealed that two-thirds feel “exhausted” by the overwhelming volume of news they receive. Why is the public feeling drained by the news? Are audiences actively avoiding it, and at what psychological cost? Most importantly, how can the media rebuild trust and reconnect with its audience?

Cameroon's fragmented media landscape has weakened collective advocacy, allowing government repression of journalists to go largely unchallenged. As press freedom declines, voices like Samuel Wazizi's are silenced, while disunity among journalists enables impunity to thrive.

How has artificial intelligence emerged as a powerful tool during wartime, and what strategies are fact-checkers adopting to confront this disruptive force in newsrooms? The work of fact-checkers has grown significantly more challenging during the genocide in Palestine, as the Israeli occupation has relied heavily on artificial intelligence to disseminate misinformation.

Amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions in early May, Indian mainstream media flooded the public with fake news, doctored visuals, and sensationalist coverage, fueling mass anxiety and misinformation. Fact-checkers and experts condemned the media’s role, calling it a national embarrassment that undermined journalistic integrity and misled citizens during a critical geopolitical moment.
