This week, we are veering out of the mainstream and looking at journalism that broke the rules, pushed boundaries and, in some cases, redefined them.

We explore the work and the legacy of three such innovators: Tom Wolfe, Ghassan Kanafani and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Their journalism defied convention and categorisation and continues to inspire people to consider new ways of presenting stories.

Elias Khoury - Novelist and literary critic

As’ad Abukhalil - Professor of political science, California State University

A weekly programme that examines and dissects the world's media, how they operate and the stories they cover.

The Listening Post

Unconventional journalists: From Tom Wolfe to Ghassan Kanafani | The Listening Post

The algorithms that Big Tech designed - and the genocide they assisted. The Listening Post explores how Israel’s killing campaign of Palestinians has relied on artificial intelligence to choose its targets. A dystopian nightmare serves as a marketing campaign for technology flawed by design, and deepens the global digital divide.

Contributors:
Sophia Goodfriend – Researcher, Duke University
Mona Shtaya – Digital rights scholar
Matthew Mahmoudi – Researcher, Amnesty Tech
Sebastian Ben Daniel – Journalist, +972 Magazine

On our radar:

Nicaragua put Germany in the dock at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of facilitating genocide in Gaza. Germany is the second largest weapons supplier to Israel.

Meenakshi Ravi dissects the reaction from Berlin and the German media to the case.

Truth to power in wartime Ukraine

Three years into Ukraine’s war with Russia, journalists are feeling the pressure. Where once investigative outlet Bihus.info was relied on to expose Russian war crimes, they’re now undergoing Soviet-style surveillance by security services for exposing corruption in Ukraine.

Featuring:
Yaroslav Yurchyshyn – Ukrainian Member of Parliament and chair, Freedom of Speech Committee
Natalia Ligachova – Editor-in-Chief, Detector Media
Maria Zemlyanska – Investigative journalist, Bihus.Info
Denys Bihus – Founder, Bihus.Info

Genocide in Gaza: Enabled by AI, powered by Big Tech

It is election season in India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems set to win a third successive term in the national elections — for good reason, say his supporters. They claim 10 years of the Modi government have transformed India, from lifting millions out of poverty to elevating India’s global status, but his critics say Modi’s record is far from perfect.

In this episode of The India Report, we analyse how India has fared in the past decade on the foreign policy and economic policy fronts.

Featuring:
Jayati Ghosh - Professor of economics, University of Massachusetts
Anand Gurumurthy - BJP spokesperson  and economist
Suhasini Haider - Diplomatic affairs editor, The Hindu
Raghuram Rajan - Former governor, Reserve Bank of India
Veena Sikri - Former external affairs diplomat for India

Myth/Miracle: Dissecting the Modi government’s claims

With international reporters locked out, Palestinian journalists have made huge sacrifices to keep the world informed of the unprecedented killing and destruction in Gaza.

More media workers have been killed by Israel since October 7 than in any other conflict in modern history.

Like the rest of the population, Gaza's journalists have also been maimed, arrested or threatened, have seen their homes and offices destroyed and are grieving over the loss of those close to them.

The Listening Post spent time with three Al Jazeera journalists between February and March 2024.
