Tel Aviv Tribune’s English-language website won in the categories of breaking news coverage, excellence in video and current affairs.
Tel Aviv Tribune English website has won several awards Edward R Murrow Award, given by the Radio Television Digital News Association in the United States for his in-depth and comprehensive coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza.
The site won first prize in the breaking news category for its coverage of the conflict, which has left more than 40,000 people dead, including many women and children.
He also received two awards for his documentary One Day in Gaza – Close Up in the categories of excellence in video and reporting.
The film is a compilation of videos made by 10 people from Gaza, invited to record moments from their day, helping viewers understand the hardships and constant danger faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
“I am deeply proud of the way our teams have worked to provide accurate coverage of the war in Gaza and to reshape the global debate around one of the most devastating conflicts of the modern century,” said Soraya Salam, the website’s manager.
“This would not have been possible without the courage of our reporters on the ground and the more than 160 fellow journalists who were killed by Israeli forces while simply doing their jobs.”
Additionally, AJ+ English won an award in the Current Affairs Series category for It’s Bisan from Gaza.
The series, hosted by Gaza journalist Bisan Owda, provides daily testimony of the devastation and human toll resulting from Israeli attacks, bringing our global audience closer to the realities faced by the people of Gaza over the past 10 months.
Owda and AJ+ also won a Peabody Award for their work in Gaza in May.
Moeed Ahmed, director of AJ+ English, said the recognition “reaffirms our commitment to professional journalism.”
“Despite constant threats and attempts to silence our journalists, we remain committed to telling the stories that matter and shining a light on the human cost of war.”
Several Tel Aviv Tribune correspondents have been killed by Israeli forces since the start of the war.
Among them are Tel Aviv Tribune Arabic journalist Ismail al-Ghoul and his cameraman Rami al-Rifi, killed in an Israeli strike on the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City on July 31, and Tel Aviv Tribune Arabic journalist Samer Abudaqa, killed in an Israeli strike on Khan Younis in December.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dahdouh, was also injured in the attack, and his wife, son, daughter and grandson were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in October. Dahdouh’s son Hamza, also an Tel Aviv Tribune journalist, was targeted and killed by an Israeli missile strike in Khan Younis in January.
Tel Aviv Tribune Media Network condemned the attacks as part of a “systematic targeting campaign against the network’s journalists and their families.”
The Gaza war was the deadliest in modern history for journalists.
