Top newspaper coverage of Israel-Hamas war must continue to quote Palestinian civilians in Gaza [1]

['Written By', 'Research Contributions From']

Date: 2023-12 

Media Matters searched print articles in the Factiva database from the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post for either of the terms “Gaza” or “Hamas” or any variation of either of the terms “Palestine” or “Israel” from October 9, 2023, when the Israeli counteroffensive in Gaza began, through October 22, 2023, two weeks after the Israeli response was initiated.

We included news articles, which we defined as instances in the A-section of the paper when the aftermath or effect of the Israeli counteroffensive in Gaza was mentioned in the headline or lead paragraphs, including mentions of the death toll of civilians in Gaza or descriptions of Israel’s campaign of airstrikes and bombings, Israel and Egypt’s blockade, Israel’s “siege,” or the growing humanitarian crisis.

We then reviewed the identified articles for whether they quoted, interviewed, or paraphrased any civilian Palestinians living in Gaza about the bombings, the impact of Israel’s counteroffensive, the humanitarian crisis within Gaza, or any other aspect of Israel’s response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas invasion. We did not include instances when the papers quoted, interviewed, or paraphrased non-Palestinians trapped in Gaza or Palestinians not residing in Gaza.
