Protecting Press Freedom: The Risks of Reporting in Gaza and Beyond -SDG Media Zone | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Journalism is essential to human rights and democracy, yet it can be a dangerous—and too often deadly—profession. Since 2023, there has been an unprecedented surge in the killing of journalists and media workers, with over 240 Palestinian journalists losing their lives in Gaza alone. With restrictions to international media access in Gaza, Palestinian journalists have become the eyes and ears of the world, documenting critical truths at great personal risk.

Speakers:
Biesan Abu-Kwaik, Al Jazeera UN Correspondent
Jodie Ginsberg, Chief Executive, Committee to Protect Journalists

Moderator:
Melissa Fleming, UN Under-Secretary General for Global Communications
