DW Director-General Peter Limbourg said there was “no justification for threatening press representatives.” In July, another DW team was attacked by Israeli settlers in the West Bank village of Sinjil.
Damn, when the German press can say this, the AP should really pick up their game
Until the IOF says the DW journalist was hummus. What then?
I remember DW as super conservative from way back when. Either that changed or they’re very steadfast, journalistically uncompromising. In any case, hearing good stuff about & from them all the time. Go DW!
edit: OK that came across fanboish. I respect DW for making proper journalism that isn’t necessarily aligned with my political views. It’s one of those channels I pay attention to in addition to my main ones.
DW is funded and run by the German government to improve Germanys image abroad. It is not a public broadcaster as those are financed through a government independent but obligatory system.
In regards to Palestine it ran a terrible hack job of Israeli propaganda until about earlier this year, when they realized that this is harming the image of Germany abroad much stronger than at least pretending balanced coverage.
