More than 200 media from 50 countries, dozens in Spain, add this Monday to the global mobilization, to denounce “the deliberate massacre of journalists in Gaza” and demand unrestricted access from the foreign press to the strip.
In addition, media workers and their representation bodies are called to support a minute of silence this Monday at 12:00 hours at noon at the door of their venues or in writings.
“If the Israeli army continues to kill journalists at this rhythm, there will soon be none in Gaza to inform you,” is the message proposed by RSF to the media that can be published in different versions (on cover or ‘banner’ in digital version, with black screen for televisions and voice in off or metronome for radios).
In Spain, the call is made in coordination with the Federation of Associations of Journalists of Spain (FAPE), the Network of Professional Associations, the Madrid Press Association, the Col. Legi de Perbelistes de Catalunya, the Spanish Confederation of Unions of Journalists, UGT, CCOO, the Company Committees and Drafting Councils of the different media.
“If the Israeli army continues to kill journalists at this rate, there will soon be none in Gaza to inform you,” is the proposed message, in addition to a text in which the media explains that “it joins the global initiative for and the access of the foreign press to the strip.”
A man holds the team used by the Palestinian cameraman Hussam Al-Masri, collaborator of Reuters, after being killed in yesterday’s attack by Israel.
For the written press, he proposes to publish the message on the cover or a ‘banner’ in its digital version, or support the initiative with informative and/or editorial content on interior pages.
For digital media or digital versions of traditional media, you can include a ‘banner’ on the home page with the message and reinforce with informative and/or editorial content.
For television, the organization proposes to disseminate a black screen (or with the graphic elements that are preferred) with the suggested message, while radio stations can spread a voiceover, a metronome, an accountant or a “mic check” accompanied by the phrase.
