Israel-Hamas war in Gaza the deadliest on record for journalists who describe killings, attacks and arrests

Journalists killed in GazaAlmost 12 months of unbridled war, death, destruction and suffering in Gaza have proved the deadliest conflict on record for journalists. One year in, NBC News has spoken to 21 media professionals and organizations in the region who described killings, attacks and arrests by Israeli forces.

As of Aug. 31, 116 journalists had been killed since Oct. 7, according to statistics from the Committee to Protect Journalists, a nonprofit based in New York. The majority, 111, were Palestinians killed in Gaza, three were Lebanese and two were Israeli journalists killed by Hamas militants on Oct. 7. Another 35 have been injured. Other monitoring groups have compiled far higher figures.

The Israeli military has said it “takes all operationally feasible measures to mitigate harm to civilians including journalists” and “it does not deliberately shoot at civilians, including journalists.”

Israeli forces raid, order closure of Al Jazeera bureau in West Bank

Al Jazeerah araided and shut in West BankQatari Al Jazeera TV said Sunday morning that Israeli forces stormed its bureau in the West Bank city of Ramallah with a military order to close it for 45 days.

The Qatar-based channel aired live footage of Israeli troops rushing into the channel's office and handing over a military closure order to one of the Al Jazeera TV staff members before the broadcast was disrupted.

In a statement, the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate condemned the Israeli move, saying "this arbitrary military decision is considered a new violation against journalistic and media works, which has been exposing the occupation’s crimes against the Palestinian people."

In May, Israeli authorities raided a Jerusalem hotel room used by Al Jazeera as its office after the government decided to shut down the AL Jazeera TV station's local operations, saying it threatened national security.

David Baddiel

A number of prominent columnists have resigned in protest from the Jewish Chronicle after allegations it printed articles about the Gaza conflict that were based on “wild fabrications”.

The weekly title, the world’s oldest Jewish newspaper, is facing calls for an investigation after it deleted nine articles by Elon Perry because of doubts over their accuracy and concerns he had misrepresented his CV.

The sensationalist articles by the former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier allegedly included fabricated claims about Israeli intelligence.

Ex-Kansas police chief who raided local newspaper criminally charged

Ex-Kansaasolice Chief criminally charged

A former Kansas police chief who led a raid last year on a weekly newspaper has been charged with felony obstruction of justice and is accused of persuading a potential witness to withhold information from authorities when they later investigated his conduct.

The single charge against Gideon Cody, the former Marion police chief, alleges that he knowingly or intentionally influenced the witness to withhold information on the day of the raid of the Marion County Record and the home of its publisher or sometime within the following six days. The charge was filed on Monday in state district court in Marion county and is not more specific about Cody’s alleged conduct.

The raid sparked a national debate about press freedom focused on Marion, a town in Kansas of about 1,900 people set among rolling prairie hills. Also, newspaper publisher Eric Meyer’s mother, who co-owned the newspaper and lived with him, died the next day of a heart attack, and he blames the stress of the raid.

Russia jails US journalist Gershkovich for 16 years

Evan Gershkovitch

US journalist Evan Gershkovich has been found guilty of espionage by a Russian court and sentenced to 16 years in a high-security penal colony, after a secretive trial decried as a "sham" by his employer, his family and the White House.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reporter was first arrested last March while on a reporting trip in the city of Yekaterinburg, about 1,600km (1,000 miles) east of Moscow, by security services.

Prosecutors accused him of working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), accusations that Gershkovich, the WSJ and the US vociferously deny.

It marks the first conviction of a US journalist for espionage in Russia since the Cold War ended more than 30 years ago.

Israel revokes decision to shut down Associated Press news agency's Gaza live feed

AP feed from Gaza restored

Israel has returned broadcasting equipment belonging to the Associated Press, hours after seizing it in southern Israel and shutting down the US news agency's live feed of Gaza.

Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi reversed the decision, which has led to mounting international pressure.

The White House expressed concern, while the Foreign Press Association said it was alarmed by “the latest in a series of chilling steps by the Israeli government to stifle the media”. The UN condemned the move, calling it "shocking".

AP’s vice-president Lauren Easton said it "decries in the strongest terms the actions of the Israeli government".

CNN Dumps Donald Trump Presser For A Dose Of The Truth

Kaitlan Collins

“News Central” anchor Kaitlan Collins cut into a live feed of the former president and Republican 2024 front-runner yet again repeating his baseless stolen election claims following a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals hearing in which his lawyers had argued his “absolute immunity” from prosecution for his acts when in the White House. Legal experts have dismissed the argument.

Collins interrupted the network’s broadcast of the presser after Trump told untruths about “tremendous voter fraud” and “determinative voter fraud” and falsely claimed he was being targeted by President Joe Biden ahead of a possible rematch of the 2020 election in November.

“Of course, a few fact checks and reality statements on what you’re hearing there,” she told viewers.

“There is no evidence of voter fraud. Many courts have found that there has never been any evidence of it that Trump has been able to bring, despite what he is continuing to say there,” she added.
