The media landscape in the Palestinian territories is highly dynamic but deeply constrained by political conflict, security risks, and restrictions from both local authorities and Israel, making it one of the most dangerous environments for journalists 1.
Online outlets have become the primary channels for news and press release distribution, supported by high internet penetration (88%) and significant social media usage, especially on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, though content moderation and digital rights violations frequently limit Palestinian voices1,3.
While digital media has eroded the dominance of state-run broadcasters, the effectiveness of press release distribution is challenged by censorship, political polarization, and frequent disruptions to digital access, requiring careful navigation of both traditional and online channels to reach audiences 4.
