Social media has transformed television in Yemen from a one-way broadcast medium into a more interactive, audience-driven system in which viewers help shape, source and even produce the content they watch.

In newsrooms across Bangladesh, the word "Indigenous" has become too dangerous to put in print. Editors quietly strike it from the copy, wary that a single mention could invite the wrath of the state.

Journalists should treat Israeli sources with particular scrutiny because anonymous briefings, military censorship, strategic leaks and recycled analysis can blur the line between verified information, speculation and propaganda, with real consequences for audiences on the ground.

Reporting and newsgathering cost money; they require time, patience and experienced personnel. However, globally limited funding is leading to a generally compromised journalism output.

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.

Asef Hamidi, Managing Director of Al Jazeera Arabic Channel, says the Gaza coverage was a professional duty, not activism, and that true objectivity means reporting crimes clearly rather than hiding behind false “balance”.

Journalists covering Nigerian conflicts increasingly use remote reporting methods that rely on local fixers and open-source data, forcing a dependence on digital tools that limits direct physical context. Reporters share these difficult realities, exposing how safety risks change the way conflict is documented and asking how the media can keep news accurate when journalists cannot reach the ground.

North American mainstream journalists covering US and Israel-led algorithmic warfare frequently use anthropomorphic language that humanises technologies like machine learning, forcing a reliance on tech-elite jargon that sanitises the immense human cost and removes accountability from the state actors and weapon developers.

The arrest of an Afghan female athlete after appearing in a Dutch documentary highlights the dangers of reporting under authoritarian rule. It underscores a growing dilemma in journalism regarding how to amplify the voices of vulnerable people without accidentally turning them into targets for the regime.

Recent restructuring at Voice of America and The Washington Post marks a significant withdrawal from global journalism, particularly affecting coverage in South Asia. As these major institutions cut staff and close foreign bureaus, the loss of experienced expertise threatens the visibility of critical regional issues like human rights and climate change. This shift forces a move toward narrative independence for local media, yet leaves a dangerous gap in the global conversation that smaller newsrooms struggle to fill.

A generation of reporters-built careers on confidential sources, many now write without them.

India’s proposed AI copyright framework risks turning independent journalism into a pooled data resource, undermining the subscription-based models that sustain it. At a moment of political and economic fragility, the struggle over AI licensing is ultimately a struggle over who controls, values, and profits from journalistic work.

Normalising inconsistent, messy, or incomplete data is tedious and time-consuming, but essential. AI can handle grunt work, but editorial decisions remain with the journalist.

In the past, having a detailed editorial plan was something extra that only some newsrooms did, but today it is a necessary part of surviving the non-stop news cycle. As newsrooms move away from old paper deadlines and into a digital world run by social media and search engines, having a clear plan is what keeps a team organised instead of stressed.

As a journalist, reporting on the murder of my father meant answering questions about my own position as an objective observer.

When media institutions first envisioned editorial charters and professional codes of conduct, their primary goal was to safeguard freedom of expression. However, experience has shown that these frameworks have often morphed into a "vast prison", one that strips journalists of their ability to confront authority in all its forms. In this way, Big Brother dons velvet gloves to seize what little space remains for the practice of true journalism.

What does it mean for readers when their voices are deliberately cut off? This content analysis of The Telegraph, a UK-based conservative newspaper known for its pro-establishment stance and alignment with right-leaning narratives, shows it systematically disabled Instagram comments on Israel-Gaza posts, blocking dissent and shaping a one-sided, pro-Israel narrative.

It labelled Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif, killed by the occupation, a “terrorist”; denies famine in Gaza; trains its journalists in Israel to promote the Zionist narrative; published forged documents leaked from Netanyahu’s office; and belongs to a media group whose charter affirms “support for Israel’s right to exist”. This is Bild, Germany’s newspaper of incitement against Palestinians, cited by Israel’s president.

Newsrooms, long lauded as bastions of information, are quietly grappling with a mental health crisis, underscoring an urgent need for systemic support, emotional safety, and sustainable practices to protect those telling the world’s stories.

The Continent is a new way of empowering people through quality journalism, blending the authority of newspapers with the reach of 21st-century distribution. Readers love it. That’s why we built it. It’s a model other newsrooms can learn from and one that comes with its own set of challenges.

Following the assassination of journalist Anas Al-Sharif, Palestinian journalists have been framed in Israeli media as legitimate military targets—part of a deliberate strategy to silence those who bear witness to the truth. This article explores how Hebrew-language media outlets have engaged in rhetoric that incites and legitimises the killing of journalists in Gaza.

How many journalists have to be killed before we name the killer? What does press freedom mean if it excludes Palestinians? In its latest strike, Israel killed an entire Al Jazeera news crew in Gaza—part of a systematic campaign to silence the last witnesses to its crimes. Canadian Journalists for Justice in Palestine (CJJP) condemns this massacre and calls on the Canadian government to end its complicity, uphold international law, and demand full accountability. This is not collateral damage. This is the targeted erasure of truth.

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.

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?
