Poynter's Al Tompkins calls it "arguably the world’s most complex conflict."
Our senior vice president and media ethics expert Kelly McBride wrote that newsrooms must "find ways to document the full range of views of the people in their communities" while creating "an environment ... where journalists can openly discuss and explore their personal competing loyalties."
And faculty member Fernanda Camarena spoke to veteran standards editors to talk through "the tough decisions on what to air and publish during a war."
As the world's attention was drawn to Israel and Gaza, Poynter sought to make sense of media coverage and misinformation for news consumers, while also providing for journalists best practices and reliable conflict background.

| How Any Journalist Can Earn Trust |
Self-directed course, start any time
We have to stop assuming people understand the mission, ethics and processes behind our work in journalism. We can’t let ourselves get lumped in with perceptions of “the media.” Instead, we need to actively work to earn trust from our communities by telling them why we’re worthy of their time, trust and support.
This online, self-directed course, developed in partnership with our friends at Trusting News, will help you understand mistrust and gain a better understanding of what trust in news looks like around the world. Examples and activities are designed for non-U.S. news media and fact-checking organizations, in collaboration with Poynter’s International Fact-Checking Network. If you are based in the U.S., check out this version instead.
Cost: Free. |
