About this episode

The episode discusses media censorship in Lebanon and the challenges faced by student journalists in the U.S.

First up, journalist Afeef Nessouli joins the show to talk about the situation in Lebanon, and how corporate media deliberately flattens and dehumanizes in service of US-Israeli regional goals. Afeef explains the complex and interconnected networks of resistance and solidarity on the ground, the tangled web of imperialism, and how Lebanese journalists are, like their Palestinian counterparts, working together in impossible conditions to get the truth out about their situation in spite of compounding and violent censorship. Next up, cohost Mickey Huff sits down with former Director of Student Media at Indiana University Jim Rodenbush to talk about his termination. Jim had the audacity to stand up for the renowned student newspaper the Indiana Daily Student when the powers that be didnt feel it should actually report the news anymore. Jim shares his story and warns of the implications this has on everyones access to a free press, from colleges to professional newsrooms. The post Networks of Resistance: From Lebanon to College Newsrooms appeared first on Project Censored.
