Ahmed Alnaouq and Hala Hanina are joined in the studio by Richard Sanders of Double Down News, an independent media platform founded in 2017 and known for its in-depth reporting, political analysis, and commitment to telling stories that often don’t make it into the mainstream. They are also joined by Gaza-born journalist Jehan Alfarra, the new Executive Director of Palestine Deep Dive.
They discuss the role of alternative media, how narratives around Palestine are shaped and challenged, the pressures on those reporting in this space, and what it means to build platforms committed to context, humanity and accountability while navigating the media and political landscape in Britain and the wider West.
