Journalism by Robert Inlakesh
This Week In Occupied Palestine:
On this Substack, which will be dedicated to bringing you honest reporting that is supported by you, the readers. Each Friday I will publish an article as part of the ‘This Week In Occupied Palestine’ series. The article will detail the notable events of the week, from Saturday to Friday, in a way which seeks to add some context, point out trends and educate the reader on what has been happening throughout the week in Palestine. Whether you don’t have the time to follow the News cycle, don’t know where to look, can’t read Arabic or simply want a good summary of where things are at, this is the place for you.
Why now?
Honest journalism is becoming ever more hard to come by, however, we now have independent journalists who are able to challenge power on places like Substack and through various news outlets in alternative media. Although I write for a large number of outlets outside of Substack, as a freelance journalism, I feel like this is the place to publish the material you will find here and build a community.
Become part of this community and a paid Subscriber:
The Weekly Palestine focused articles will always be free to the public, however, interviews with notable guests in their full form will be an exclusive feature for paid subscribers. On top of the access to bonus materials, you will also be helping to grow the scope of the work that can be done here on Substack and build this community. The power of the people comes in numbers, which is why building a community here and engaging with journalism such as what will appear here, also gives the content its true power. Without the readers, this content will only be ideas and words to express them.
