Featured Topic - The Middle East - Join our News Hunt

This week's featured topic is the Middle East, with a focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as the recent relapse of violence in Lebanon. Our partners for this 'news hunt' are the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR.org), Global Voices, and LinkTV. We're delighted to be joining forces with these fine partners to find good journalism about this complex issue, which impacts not just the Middle East, but the entire world.

Think of this 'news hunt' as a scavenger hunt for good journalism on the Middle East. This week, we invited news professionals, content experts and concerned citizens to join forces with us and find the best journalism on the web on the Middle East, using the NewsTrust review service. In a week, we'll announce the results of our news hunt on our blog and newsletters, and prominently feature the top stories, sources and reviewers on NewsTrust.

Better Understanding the Crisis
Understanding the Israeli-Palestinian crisis can be difficult. The long history of the conflict is intertwined with issues of colonialism, the Cold War, and the greater region's vast energy resources. The Council of Foreign Relations has created an Israeli-Palestinian Crisis Guide that we recommend as a first step in better understanding the many dimensions of the situation. Beginning with a timeline video that traces the conflict from the British colonial era to the present, the guide frames the crisis from a variety of perspectives. For example, an interactive territorial map tackles issues such as water resources, the Palestinian refugee camps, and the status of Jerusalem. The guide manages to go in-depth but still remain accessible to non-experts, and has already been highly rated on NewsTrust.

Independence Day or Al Nakba?
This week marks the 60th anniversary of Israel's founding, an event many Arabs refer to as 'Al-Nakba' ('the catastrophe'). With dignitaries such as U.S. President George W. Bush visiting the region, we'll see news and opinion on both perspectives of this anniversary. Jamal Dajani, producer of LinkTV's excellent Mosaic program, offers his view of the Palestinian perspective, entitled "Your Independence Is Our Nakba", in his regular video commentary on The Mosaic Intelligence Report.

Voices from the Region
Reporting on the power and politics of the Middle East often fails to capture the realities on the ground. This problem has been amplified as economically squeezed news organizations are forced to shut down their foreign bureaus. However, the Internet has enabled new kinds of local reporting to partially fill this media void. NewsTrust is proud to be teaming up with the bloggers and journalists who contribute to the Global Voices project to offer local perspectives from the Middle East and North Africa. Check out their posts on the NewsTrust Global Voices page.
