[1] This study by Fabian Goldmann, presented in the Jacobin article below, analysed 4,853 German headlines on Gaza and Israel (Oct 7, 2023 – Jan 19, 2025). The sourcing imbalance is staggering — and has arguably contributed to distorting how the German public understands the war.
Palestinian journalists, rescue workers, and eyewitnesses offer a devastating and detailed picture of Israel’s crimes.
Yet only 5 percent of German media headlines about Gaza draw on these sources, while almost half rely on Israeli ones.

Proving the German Media Bias Against Palestinians
German reporting on the Middle East has long been criticized as one-sided. Our exclusive analysis of 5,000 headlines from leading German media outlets since October 7 shows the bias is even worse than suspected.

No Country for Travellers?
No Country for Travellers? explores the rise and nature of British travel to Spain and Portugal between 1760 and 1820, across a region that is conventionally overlooked in studies of British travel to Europe.

Every word of this. These outlets can't be allowed to escape their complicity in this, the stigma must stick to them just as it will stick to Israel's Channel 12.

Reading the intro to Les Temps modernes by Sartre: "The writer is situated in his time; every word he utters has reverberations. As does his silence. I hold Flaubert and the Goncourts responsible for the repression that followed the Commune because they didn't write a line to prevent it."

Comparing press coverage on Gaza (today, Dutch public news NOS and German public news Tagesschau) always yields the same depressing result - that German journalists will lend credibility to false claims by the IDF when everyone else has stopped.
