Committee to Protect Journalists: We will continue to recognize media members affiliated with terror groups

|
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), the world's largest organization of its kind dubbed the 'Red Cross of journalism,' voted 17 to 1 to maintain its definition recognizing media members affiliated with terror organizations like Hamas as legitimate journalists 'as long as they are not involved in combat or inciting violence in a manner that could have immediate impact.' The vote came amid public criticism surrounding the organization's list of journalists killed in the Gaza war, which includes dozens of military operatives from Hamas and other terror organizations. Fox News was the only network that voted against the decision, while other major media outlets, The New York Times, Reuters and AP voted in favor.
