We speak with our friend Derrar Ghanem about his experiences working as a fixer with international journalists over the last few years in Palestine. A fixer is someone a journalist contacts in an unfamiliar context to help support their reporting: fixers often help translate and facilitate interviews, make contacts and help journalists navigate political contexts. Derrar reflects on the professionalism and ethics involved in speaking with the mothers of martyrs in the West Bank, and why he’d never heard about instances of creative resistance to Israeli occupation in small villages.
