Palestinian Media Outlets Ravaged by the Coronavirus Pandemic (with VIDEO) Mohammad Al-Kassim 01/12/2021
Dozens of journalists have been laid off, news stations have closed, making the beginning of 2021 brutal for Palestinian journalists
It’s being called a “media massacre” – perhaps the worst period ever in the history of Palestinian journalism. In the first two weeks of 2021 alone, dozens of reporters, camerapersons and technicians have been forced to resign from their jobs; others have been laid off.
Last week, Ajyal, the largest radio station in the Palestinian territories, let go of at least 15 of its top personnel, many of whom have been with the outlet since it went on the air in 1999.
