Broadcaster and writer Afua Hirsch argues that legacy media's biggest threat is the loss of public trust.
Speaking to Palestine Deep Dive, she reflects on why audiences are turning away from traditional outlets and why she believes professional journalistic standards have too often failed to live up to their own principles where coverage of Palestine-Israel is concerned. "People do want to hear these stories, and they do want to hear voices that have been censored,” she explains.
Speaking alongside former England footballer Gary Lineker, Hirsch joins Palestine Deep Dive’s Ahmed Alnaouq and Hala Hanina for a wide-ranging conversation on Palestine, Israel, football, media narratives, free speech and why sport can never truly be separated from politics and the world around it.
