20th October 2021: Mark Seddon is live with Dr Yara Hawari confronting the media bias Palestinians still face around the world today.

We'll be exploring the distortions, deceptions and downright mistruths often seen in mainstream reporting on Palestine, as well as the challenges Palestinians so often have to endure when they agree to give mainstream media interviews, when they're lucky enough to be offered them. And in doing so, we shall reveal exactly how Palestine can and should be reported on meaningfully in 2021.

Dr Yara Hawari is a Palestinian academic, writer and Senior Policy Analyst of Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network. In addition to her academic work, which focused on indigenous studies and oral history, she is a frequent political commentator writing for various media outlets including The Guardian, Foreign Policy, and Al Jazeera English.
