Excellent article, I’m sure with today’s reporting and the various journalist outlets, which are progressive would have listed Paul Joseph Goebbel’s ‘s as a casualty in 1945, of a journalist.
Question for you, Avi (it's a little off topic) At one time, you were an international media spokesperson for the IDF. I assume these spokespeople still exist? I don't recall ever reading anything in the American media coming from Israel's perspective. Nothing from IDF spokespeople or spokespeople for the Israeli government. Am I missing something? It frustrates me to no end that Israel is completely absent from the information war-- and I agree with you that Israel's ban on journalists in Gaza harms us.
Hi Lori. Some of the IDF's international media spokespeople over the years have more visible and some less so. The same goes for government spokespeople. It's also important to note that some journalists turn to government and military spokespeople to respond to allegations or to a story that has already largely been written, so even if their response is noted, it is sometimes relatively parenthetical and easily overlooked.

Thank you Avi, for this informative and insightful discussion of the role of journalists and their obligations, particularly in war time.
