US Gaza protests put student journalists in spotlight • FRANCE 24 English
Student journalists were thrust into the spotlight this week, covering pro-Palestinian protests taking place at universities across the United States. They were plugged into the story in ways that national media organisations couldn't be. We discuss the media coverage of the protests and the challenge of reporting on them. FRANCE 24's William Hilderbrandt is joined by Annika Sunkara, a student journalist at Boston's Northeastern University; Álvaro Guzmán Bastida, a student at New York's Columbia University; and Luca GoldMansour, a graduate student in journalism at The City University of New York.

Read ‘Son of Hamas’ it’s available as a free pdf and also ‘Arab Palestinian warns the world about Hamas’ on you tube. You will get a much more detailed idea of what is going on there beyond the propaganda and limited MSM. The Tom Nash report on the Middle East is also good.

Democracy Now! is the only accurate US news outlet - but they are excellent!
Kudos to these young people for standing up for what's right.
US police acted like Indian police
Laura Ingraham is clueless and ridiculous.
Netanyahu ordered and action taken immediately. I was wrong when I asked why is Israel pm giving directions on New York protesters. A different country.

She needs to listen to some of the Professors … experts who disagree. The students have the courage that many others do not have to stand up to a hypocritical government.
Awesome! Since the 2019 Student protests in Hong Kong, where multiple university and college campuses were the bloody clashes toke place in a period of more than two months, no US mainstream broadcasting media looked at the activists protesters as terrorists!!! You condemned the police in using force to crack down the dangerous activities on campus- setting fire on premises, hurling gas bombs and shooting arrows at the policemen. Terroristic? Nancy Polesi, House of Representatives speaker described the scene of the outbreaks violence of the protesters as "beautiful scene of the horizon". Now, it's your campuses. How much do you like it?😂😂😂

The students were right during the Vietnam war protests against an unjust war and right again this time protesting against the killing of children in Gaza. “🎶All they are saying is give peace a chance🎶” John Lennon”

I am appalled by the human rights violations happening in the USA. USA should stop preaching human rights to other countries.

If Barack Obama were president, would this happen? I miss President Park Obama 😭 If Obama were president of the United States, he would not have allowed Israel to control our country and our freedoms, and he would not have allowed Israel to go too far and suppress the demonstrators

I came along in university at the closing of the Vietnam era, when student protests were much more prevalent than now. Unfortunately these young people really have no commitment one way or another. We know that professional agitators are being used to cause these incidents. How many of those students do we see actually flying to Egypt to help fight? Not one.

@@jaegybomb Again, I'm referring to counter protestors, not police. The videos are everywhere, including the modified firework one. "Just before midnight, a large group, wearing black outfits and white masks, arrived on campus and tried to tear down the barricades surrounding the encampment." "Eyewitness videos from UCLA, verified by Reuters, showed people wielding sticks or poles to hammer on wooden boards being used as makeshift barricades to protect the pro-Palestinian protesters before police were deployed to the campus." So as I said, counter-protestors, who were organized outside agitators and started attacking with blunt weapons and thrown rocks as soon as they arrived.
