IPI to Release Reporters Guide For Palestine-Israel Conflict
The International Press Institute is set to publish a guide for reporters on the use of language in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, aimed at addressing sensitivities on both sides.
It has been said that history is written by the victors. If that is the case, then the reporters guide to language use in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict soon to be released might reflect that there are no winners in this decades-old struggle. IPI will issue a press release on the booklet tomorrow, Oct. 23.
The reporters guide, Use with Care: A Reporter's Glossary of Loaded Language in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, was produced by the Vienna-based International Press Institute (IPI) and is the result of years of back-and-forth drafting by six unnamed Palestinian and Israeli journalists. The guidebook should be found in every newsroom in the world that deals with the Arab-Israeli conflict.
