At the Global Media Forum (GMF) in Bonn organized by Deutsche Welle, journalists and media professionals discussed the challenges of reporting on the Gaza war and conflicts in the Middle East, focusing on the importance of being objective, sympathetic, and using accurate terminology. Participants included Nada Bashir from CNN, Shani Rozanes from Deutsche Welle, Susan Neiman from the Einstein Forum, Barkha Dutt from India, and journalist Hazem Balousha reporting from Gaza. The forum highlighted the power of language in conveying thoughts, with discussions on terms like 'terrorist attack,' 'massacre,' and 'war crimes.' The event also addressed the bias in media coverage, diversity in newsrooms, and the need for balanced reporting without favoring any side in conflicts.
