Media practitioners gathered in London to discuss “conflict reporting and media perspectives” after Gaza. 

For the first time since the war in Gaza, more than a hundred journalists, academics and experts from Europe and the Middle East met in London to discuss how the media reported on this war, and to assess the impact on public opinion in Europe and the Arab-Muslim world.
