#Iran: @poynterinstitute.bsky.social reports that viral clips circulating online come from 2015 Tianjin explosion, 2024 missile attacks or are AI-generated & misrepresent the Iran strikes.
The public must rely on verified journalism & credible sources during conflicts

#Lebanon: Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon targeted the offices of Al-Manar TV and Al-Nour Radio in Beirut, and Sawt Al-Farah Radio in Tyre.
🔴 We condemn these attacks and reiterate that deliberate strikes on media facilities constitute a violation of international law.
The Global Union Federations (GUF), including the IFJ, condemn the US and Israel’s military strikes on Iran. Attacks on civilians, workers, schools and hospitals can never be justified. We call for an immediate ceasefire, de-escalation and diplomacy. www.ifj.org/media-centre...
@uniglobalunion.org, including the IFJ, condemn the US and Israel’s military strikes on Iran. Attacks on civilians, workers, schools and hospitals can never be justified. We call for an immediate ceasefire, de-escalation, and diplomacy.

"When journalists are underpaid, unpaid, or denied basic legal protections such as social security and medical benefits, media freedom itself is weakened." One reason among many why press freedom requires strong journalist unions and international solidarity #StandUpForJournalism #PressFreedom

#Israel: The Israeli government banned five Palestinian media platforms that report on events in Jerusalem, accusing them of “incitement” under the country's counter-terrorism law. We call on the Israeli authorities to stop using "security concerns" as an excuse to suppress critical media outlets.
