The Media Show: Israel-Iran coverage
Israel-Iran reporting limitations, new details in Netflix’s Grenfell documentary, and Reddit celebrates 20 years
Coverage of the Israel-Iran conflict has been shaped by restricted access and challenges for international journalists. With few media outlets able to base reporters inside Iran, coverage often relies on external analysis, satellite imagery, and information that is difficult to independently verify. Shashank Joshi, Defence Editor at The Economist, and Shayna Oppenheimer, Journalist at ѿý Monitoring, discuss.
Netflix’s new documentary “Grenfell: Uncovered” marks the eighth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire by highlighting corporate and regulatory failings that contributed to the tragedy. Director Olaide Sadiq explains how the team built trust with interviewees and brought to light evidence not widely known.
Reddit celebrates its 20th anniversary as one of the internet’s largest community-led platforms. Laura Nestler, Reddit’s Global Head of Community, explains their approach to moderation and addresses concerns about AI’s growing role on the platform.
