Now more than ever, a year on since Hamas’ surprise attack on southern Israel, and Israel’s continued assault on Gaza, the role of journalists and media organisations has been vital, but it has also been called into question.
This event will be the inaugural memorial lecture for the late Ian Black, former visiting fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre and Middle East editor for The Guardian.
In this first lecture, Jim Muir, Ian’s colleague at the LSE Middle East Centre and fellow seasoned journalist of the Middle East, will explore how reporting on the Middle East has been challenged and had to adapt in the extraordinary conditions prevailing since October 7, 2023.
