"CNN's Gaza Reporting: Navigating IDF Censorship"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Intercept
CNN's policy requires journalists to submit their Israel and Palestine coverage for review by the Jerusalem bureau, which operates under the influence of the IDF's military censor. This has led to concerns about biased reporting, as the bureau may favor Israeli narratives and is subject to censorship on certain topics. CNN's internal directives also guide language use, emphasizing the need for context and caution when reporting on Hamas. Critics argue that this process, along with hiring a former IDF soldier as a reporter, may compromise the impartiality of CNN's coverage of the Gaza conflict.
