The BBC has come under fire for the way it has reported on the war between Israel and Hamas — but is it the only organisation to have made mistakes? 

 

In this episode of Media Confidential - a brand new podcast from Prospect Magazine - Lionel Barber and Alan Rusbridger analyse the way that the massacre of 7th October and subsequent war have been covered, including explosion at Al-Ahli hospital, which some media outlets initially blamed on Israeli strikes. Jake Wallis Simons, editor of the Jewish Chronicle explains how damaging it is to the British Jewish population when errors are made, and former BBC editor and Radio 4 controller Mark Damazer defends the role of the war reporters on the ground.
