Who gets to shape the story? Reporting on the conflict in the Middle East — with The Guardian’s Nour Haydar

There's been a move by Australian newsrooms to foster and champion the diversity of their staff. But when it comes to covering the conflict between Israelis & Palestinians, and the war in Gaza, does this push for diversity only run skin deep? Who gets to shape the story? 

The 2024 AN Smith Memorial Lecture was recorded at the University of Melbourne's Centre for Advancing Journalism on 26 November 2024.

Speakers

Nour Haydar Senior Audio producer and co-host, Full Story podcast, Guardian Australia
