Media criticism

Fabian Goldmann is a journalist who has analysed the sources German media use to report on the Middle East – especially on the war that has been raging in Gaza since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. He concludes that official Israeli sources predominate. He explains in our interview why this is problematic and how to achieve less biased coverage.
