The Holocaust: knowing the facts for accurate reporting
The webinar is relevant in particular for journalists in an era marked by an influx of mis- and disinformation, Holocaust denial and distortion.
The Holocaust, one of the darkest chapters in human history, remains an essential subject of interest for the public and media. As both the witnesses to and the reporters of history, journalistic coverage of this topic is a key contributor to how the world remembers, understands, and learns from this tragedy.
Reporting on the Holocaust requires a careful balance between factual accuracy, ethical considerations, awareness of antisemitism and sensitivity to the suffering of the millions of Jewish victims and survivors of Nazi crimes.
As we approach the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau, in an era marked by an influx of mis- and disinformation, Holocaust denial and distortion, the role of journalism has never been more crucial.
UNESCO is organizing this webinar to support journalists in navigating these complexities
