Virtual Discussion | Wed., 07/31, 11AM CST/6PM CET | Zoom THE WAR REPORT: ISRAEL/PALESTINE IN GERMAN AND AMERICAN MEDIA COVERAGE

Since the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack on southern Israel, the Israel-Hamas War and humanitarian crisis in Gaza have dominated headlines around the world. But how has news coverage itself shaped global attitudes towards the conflict, and how can journalism provide the basis for holding shared conversations about a polarizing issue? In this discussion, journalists Hanno Hauenstein, Ben Mauk, and Alena Jabarine will examine similarities and differences in American and German reporting on Israel/Palestine, including the dominance of corporate media, ideological bias within the newsroom, and the roles of social media and misinformation.
