Project title
Silencing the Witnesses: How Gaza's Journalists Document War Crimes Under Dual Repression
Research question
How do Gaza's journalists survive and report despite efforts to silence them?
Project description
This research presents a rare, practitioner-led examination of journalistic agency under extreme duress in Gaza. Its primary aim is to preserve and critically analyse the methodologies employed in creating an evidentiary record of events, thereby supporting truth-seeking endeavours and advancing understanding of the human cost of conflict.
The study will also translate its findings into actionable knowledge, including safety protocols and ethical guidelines for journalists operating in high-risk environments, contributing both to professional practice and to scholarly discourse on journalism under conditions of acute risk.
