Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Notice a Troubling Change
In a new survey from the Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association, 85 percent of respondents say their reporting has been held to a “higher standard of neutrality.”
A survey of about seventy people working in American newsrooms, conducted by the Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association (AMEJA), found that journalists of Middle Eastern and North African descent faced intensified levels of scrutiny since October 2023.
This change occurred with the start of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, and AMEJA published the results as the ceasefire went into effect, marking a time for reflection on press coverage of the war.
"We put together a survey because, as journalists, we always try to uncover the truth,"
said Aymann Ismail, the president of AMEJA and a staff writer at Slate.
Author's summary: Journalists face higher scrutiny.
