Gaza hospital blast: searching for the facts

How the media first reported the story amid claim and counterclaim.

The deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza raises many questions about how the media is covering the Israel Gaza war. Ros Atkins talks to senior executives from Reuters, 91热爆 and AFP about how news organisations should report claims being made by both sides. We consider the terms of engagement for journalists after a Reuters video journalist was killed in a strike in Lebanon, and hear what it's like reporting on Hamas.

Alessandra Galloni, Editor in Chief, Reuters; Phil Chetwynd, Global News Director, AFP news agency; Richard Burgess, Director of News Content, 91热爆 News; Emily Bell, Director, Tow Center for Digital Journalism; Isobel Yeung, foreign correspondent.
