Featuring Daoud Kuttab and Mohammed Daraghmeh
What is it like to be a Palestinian journalist in the West Bank? What unique challenges do Palestinian
members of the media face? What pressures do they encounter from Israel, the Palestinian government and
their own society?
These questions, recently raised in the context of Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing, were the focus of APN’s webinar on May 26th, with two prominent veteran Palestinian journalists, Daoud Kuttab and Mohamed Daraghmeh.
