The Media Accountability Project  

"Malcolm X pointed out that law enforcement often serves to uphold the status quo and protect systems of power, rather than ensuring true safety and justice for individuals, especially those from marginalized communities. This reflection on institutional racism remains sadly relevant today, and your article courageously provided Bahnan with the platform to address the systemic issues surrounding police and to challenge the dangerous naivety in assuming that the police are always there to serve and protect, particularly marginalized communities."

In conclusion, while I have been critical of your reporting, my aim is constructive and in good faith. I understand that The Concordian is run by student journalists, and I recognize the pressure that pro-Israeli organizations can exert on students to report in a one-sided manner. My aim of this letter is to also extend an olive branch and inform your newsroom that the CJPME Media Accountability Project (MAP) team works hard to support student journalists in reporting fairly on Palestine.
