Media wakes up to starved kids in Gaza…or does it? + Nelk Boys Netanyahu bromance

In this episode Jan and Antoinette unpack the sudden, strangely synchronised media concern for starving Palestinian children. Why now? What’s changed—and what still hasn’t? A look at the caveats, spin, and selective outrage still dominating the conversation.We also look closely at the prestigious Andrew OIllie media lecture that is meant to be a forward-looking media lecture but curiously fails to glance at much of the present. We try not to throw up listening to the Nelk Boys hour-long interview with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu - an internationally wanted war criminal who was given a direct line to millions of young men via their podcast.  And to end on a less soul-crushing note, we spotlight some solid investigative journalism that seeks to hold power to account. You can listen to Guardian journalist Nour Haydar’s inspiring lecture here.  Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.If you want to see our mugs as we yap you can watch the episode in full here.Thanks to @jaidanielpyne for composing the music for our podcast.
