If the article is to fully report on the actions civil society and student organizations have taken to oppose Israel’s indiscriminate, genocidal campaign on Gaza, the inclusion of the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israel is essential. Continue reading

Writing “want to leave Gaza” makes it seem like Palestinians have a choice of leaving or not when they don’t because of the reality they are going through. Palestinians are either getting killed, waiting to die or getting killed, or witnessing family members or other Palestinians getting killed. In such circumstances, anyone would flee their land because it’s a matter of life or death. Continue reading

The term “fighting flares'' is too vague and a journalistic sin of media reporting. Using vague and cliched action verbs to inform an audience, especially of a global conflict where Israel is currently committing a genocide in Gaza, downplays the on-the-ground facts of what is actually happening.

"The article’s subheading does not mention that the new strikes were from Israel. CJPME believes there should be absolute clarity for audience members to know who is striking whom in a conflict zone."
