The Honest Take is HonestReporting's long-form interview series bringing together leading experts, journalists, and researchers to examine how Israel and the Middle East are covered — and what goes into creating and feeding the narratives that target Israel.
Each episode features leading experts, analysts, researchers, and journalists who work on media bias, terrorism, NGO accountability, foreign influence, antisemitism, and international institutions. These are professionals directly involved in investigating how narratives are shaped, amplified, and protected across global newsrooms.
The conversations go beyond breaking news to unpack:
• Media bias and misinformation about Israel
• How terrorist organizations exploit humanitarian and civil society frameworks
• The role of NGOs and international bodies in shaping public perception
• Foreign state influence on Western media and education
• Why context disappears in reporting on Israel and the Palestinians
This playlist is designed for viewers seeking in-depth analysis, evidence-based discussion, and accountability in journalism on Israel and the Middle East.
