25-year-old Palestinian journalist wins international award for Gaza coverage

Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda, in collaboration with AJ+, has been honored with a prestigious Peabody Award for their exceptional coverage of the profound impact of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.

This accolade, one of the highest in journalism, was unveiled on Thursday, for the first video in Owda’s series for AJ+ on daily life under Israel’s bombardment.

“Reporting from her makeshift tent outside the medical center, she shows what survival looks like for her and the masses around her, drawing on her indomitable spirit to keep the world informed of the day-to-day reality on the ground in Gaza,” the Peabody board of jurors said in a statement announcing the award winners.
