The SOAS Media Studies Department, as the official SOAS host, is honoured to present 'Reporting Gaza', a defining public lecture by Wael Al-Dahdouh.

Join us for a compelling and timely conversation with Wael Al-Dahdouh, the veteran, award-winning journalist and Gaza bureau chief for Al Jazeera. For months, his reporting has served as a critical window to the world, offering unflinching coverage from the heart of the conflict. He has not only reported on the devastation but has also endured immense personal loss, becoming a global symbol of journalistic resilience and the human cost of war.

In this public address, Mr. Al-Dahdouh will share his first-hand account, offering a unique perspective on:

The realities of living and reporting under constant bombardment.
The personal and professional price of bearing witness to atrocities.
The human stories of survival, loss, and steadfastness behind the headlines.
The vital role of journalism in documenting conflict and holding power to account.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a journalist on the front lines of history. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session, providing the audience with a chance to engage with Mr. Al-Dahdouh.

Seating is limited and demand is expected to be high. Please register to secure your place for this important event.
