179. Marta Saiz on Human Rights Journalism & Foreign Affairs Womanhood & International Relations

    • News Commentary

Is the media coverage of foreign policy focusing on states’ behavior to, purposely, dehumanize people? How mainstream, traditional and social media coverages of international conflicts are influenced by and/or can influence too: People, States & Systems?

How complex is the experience of covering human rights violations, defense and protection? Can media coverages of human rights violations and mass crimes vary depending on the diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural ties of the countries’ news companies, journalists and editors are from, based on or respond to?

Are states foregoing Humanitarian Intervention and R2P mechanisms because economic, diplomatic and religious ties with private or third party actors triumph over, or come at the expense of, the suffering of “other” people? 

Which human stories of conflict, justice, peace and memory become top news and why others aren’t? Where are these stories being told and who is paying attention, ridiculing, ignoring or censuring them? 

A Spanish-language interview with Marta Saiz, freelance human rights journalist with more than a decade of experience covering conflict, migration and human rights stories in Iran, Greece, Palestine, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia and Paraguay;  winner of the 2021 Premio de periodismo de migración laboral of the International Labour Organization.
