The Australian media’s problem with Palestine

Juliet Fox

Our access to information, reporting and education is central to our ability to understand, empathise and act in the face of one of the world’s worst atrocities. What we do now is built on our exposure to stories, access to information and our capacity to historically contextualise the present. The systematic silencing of Palestinian voices by the Australian media over decades has seriously impaired our ability to learn, know and act.
