Aside from the systematic killing of Palestinian journalists, Israel has effectively blacked Gaza by barring journalists from around the world from entering the country. This Thursday, the Catalan Journalists' Association officially endorsed the "Open Gaza to the International Press" appeal, urging Israel to allow journalists to work freely and independently.

At the 7th Congress of Journalists of Catalonia, investigative reporter Jodi Kantor delivered the first presentation. She works for New York Times and co-author of the book She said: the journalistic investigation that uncovered Harvey Weinstein's abuses and fueled the #MeToo movementJodi Kantor, along with her colleague Megan Twohey, produced the series of reports that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. She traveled to Barcelona to discuss her investigation and defend the importance of the work of information professionals. The dean of the College of Journalists, Joan Maria Morros, opened the Congress with a minute of silence "in memory of the professionals who have lost their lives" in the line of duty. Their investigation, targeting one of Hollywood's most powerful figures, sparked a movement in which many women were heard, igniting a global conversation about abuse. The journalist, who was born in New York, is still surprised by the impact the work continues to have eight years after its publication. But one of the questions she posed during her presentation at the CaixaForum auditorium was: "If the story were published now, would it have the same impact?" She confesses that she doesn't have the answer and doesn't know if it would have a greater or lesser impact, but she does affirm that social media, like the old Twitter, helped many people begin to tell their own stories. "What was once a public square for debate is now a political tool," Kantor stated, referring to the fact that since Elon Musk acquired the platform, this forum has moved to other social networks, but only partially.
