PR for power

Thursday, Apr 17, 2025

As a media student, I am deeply disturbed by the double standards of international media in covering the Palestine-Israel conflict. Mainstream outlets, particularly in the West, often frame Palestine’s resistance as ‘terrorism’ while ignoring Israel’s occupation, war crimes and daily human rights violations. Where is the balanced reporting? Where are the voices of oppressed Palestinians? Media is supposed to speak truth to power and not protect power from the truth. The world is being fed a one-sided narrative that dehumanises an entire population. It is time for journalists, anchors and influencers to break the silence and stand with the truth. Media neutrality in the face of oppression is complicity.
