HonestReporting

HonestReporting

HonestReporting keeps a close watch on news coverage related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, looking for bias, inaccuracies, or any violations of journalistic standards. The organization also aids foreign journalists who are reporting from the region. Importantly, HonestReporting operates independently, without ties to any government, political party, or movement. The organization firmly believes that an informed public is crucial for progress and understanding in resolving conflicts. Simply correcting false reports and highlighting ethical violations isn't enough. Through its MediaCentral initiative, HonestReporting offers valuable assistance to journalists working in or visiting Israel, the Palestinian territories, and surrounding areas, ensuring that information flows freely. HonestReporting's mission serves the public good by combating misinformation, including digitally altered images that can mislead people about the conflict. Additionally, it provides unbiased support to reporters, such as translation services and connections to key figures, helping them present a more comprehensive view of the situation. With a subscriber base of over 140,000, HonestReporting's MediaCentral project addresses more than 1,000 inquiries from journalists each year.

    You may not have heard of Guy Christensen — but perhaps you should have. Not because he has anything remotely insightful to offer (he doesn’t), but because millions of Gen Z users do hear him, every day.

    The New York Times. NBC News. TIME Magazine. The Guardian. ABC News. The Independent. All supposedly reputable news organizations. All of them published, uncritically, one of the most grotesque and easily disprovable claims made during the war between Israel and Hamas — that 14,000 babies in Gaza would die within 48 hours.

    If you were reading the media’s Eurovision coverage ahead of Saturday night’s live final, you could be forgiven for thinking Europe was on the brink of revolt — not over the music, but because Israel was allowed to compete. For days, major outlets drip-fed a steady stream of articles focused less on the music and more on the “divisiveness” of Israel’s entry, Yuval Raphael.

    The most recent example came buried in a news report that casually claimed Israel had unilaterally broken a ceasefire with Hamas — a striking departure from what the same outlet had previously reported.

And these aren’t obscure details NBC somehow missed.

    Weeks after it was exposed that Hamas’ so-called “Gaza Health Ministry” has been circulating false casualty figures, much of the media are still reporting them without a hint of skepticism. In April, research by Salo Aizenberg, a board member of HonestReporting, revealed that thousands of previously “identified” deaths — including more than 1,000 children allegedly killed in Israeli airstrikes — had quietly disappeared from Hamas’ own tallies.
