'Kashmir is a massive, planet-sized blind spot for a majority of Indians in the media. Even the most sensible people in the media, who usually question decisions by the state, become something else.' Author/journalist @MirzaWaheed spoke with me about Indian media and Kashmir.

This is why I work at Al Jazeera. To report the truth about things like war crimes. You won't see this kind of content on the mostly supine mainstream outlets in the US and the West. If you're good with that - and too many people are - don't watch youtube.com/watch?v=v3J-oS…

There is so much wrong with the Assange case; the charges, his treatment and the lack of coverage. The UN: 'There is no excuse for the UK media not to cover it. ' The Journalist: 'This is happening in plain sight.' It's our lead. Starts a minute in. aljazeera.com/programmes/lis…

Julian Assange is still in a max security prison while his best known source is free. Is Australia's new PM trying to get Assange out or has he already succumbed to American power? It's a story not enough people care about. Starts 1:45 in.

More than 300 media outlets have joined together this week, all churning out stories on the climate crisis. It's about time. As the Guardian's @GeorgeMonbiot puts it 'Who has done more to impede action on climate breakdown - the media or oil companies? I'd say the media.'

If Julian Assange is extradited to the US, journalists the world over should prepare for the ramifications. According to UN torture specialist, @NilsMelzer: ‘You scratch the surface of this case, you see that things don’t add up. It has been fabricated.

She used a pseudonym. I've had sources ask to be identified in that way. Haven't you? It's not uncommon. Are you waking and baking or what?

Beijing’s initial response to the COVID-19 outbreak was inadequate, political in nature and dangerous. It's been playing catch up ever since - especially, says @Yaqiu, when it comes to shaping the narratives around this story. Our report is out this weekend on @AJEnglish.

This is disgusting. If Princeton had any guts, anything resembling principles, it would ban this hate monger

This is Jonathan Yudelman, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University, verbally abusing a Muslim woman, invading her personal space & forcing his body towards hers. @Princeton this is unacceptable and he must immediately be investigated. Twitter, do your thing.

This week's episode of @AJListeningPost looked very different to anything we've put out in nearly 14 years of being on the air on @AJEnglish. Like journalists around the world, we are reporting the COVID-19 story from our homes. Here's how we put the show together.
