Retaliation Against Media Workers In The War On Gaza: Interview With Khawla Nakua

Kevin Gosztola

May 15, 2024

For this episode of "Unauthorized Disclosure," Kevin Gosztola speaks with Khawla Nakua, an organizer with the National Writers Union (NWU) and a criminal justice reporter.
Nakua joins the show to discuss a report from NWU called "Red Lines: retaliation in the media industry during the war on Gaza."
The NWU "tracked 44 cases of retaliation that impacted more than 100 media workers, who are disproportionately people of color," according to the report. Retaliation has particularly impacted media workers of Middle Eastern or North African descent.
Nakua describes the different types of retaliation that media workers have endured during Israel's assault on Gaza and addresses the intense climate of censorship. Various examples of retaliation mentioned in the report are highlighted throughout the conversation.
