The new idw expert database

The new centrepiece of idw's expert placement service has been an expert database.

Journalists accredited with idw can search for experts in the expert lists
or search for any keywords directly in the database or filter the entries by region and language.

Take a look - it's worth it!

Allies of the #UnitedStates see the group chat between top U.S. officials about a planned attack in #Yemen that accidentally included a #journalist as a jaw-dropping #SecurityBreach which casts doubt on intelligence-sharing with #Washington and the security of joint #military operations.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza…Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories — until #Palestine is free.” | #Israel-#Palestine conflict m | Al Jazeera www-aljazeera-com.cdn.ampproje

Anyone stupid enough to use a messaging app to discuss defence secrets should be sacked immediately. Taking into account his level of incompetence, calling Hegseth “pathetic” would be a compliment. America would be better off if the Marx Brothers were in charge…

The world seems stunned by the US security scandal, but Hegseth and the pro-Trump news channels are rushing to deny it. When the reporter comes under fire as a hoaxer and screenshots of the chat leak out in his defence, I wouldn’t like to be in Trump’s position.

What does it mean for news to be impartial?

"The impartiality requirement means that news must be presented in such a way that one side of an issue is
not unduly favoured over another, and that the program does not show prejudice or bias against a particular side. To that end, an indicator of an impartial news program is that it
provides sufficient information for viewers to make up their own mind about the issues presented" (ACMA investigation, 2022).
