What Matters Now to David Horovitz: Shedding light on war when the facts are dim

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with ToI editor David Horovitz.

How do you cover a war when no objective, proven journalists are allowed to report independently in the war zone?

And when one side of the conflict — a terrorist regime — floods international media with its narrative while the other side — an attacked sovereign nation — provides no narrative, guess which side’s story makes front pages?

This week on What Matters Now, Horovitz lays out the challenges of penetrating the fog of this war within the constraints of an Israeli information vacuum.

“The hardest challenge for journalists, and it’s certainly never been harder for us in the last 19-20 months, is to get the facts first… Getting to the facts has never been harder,” said Horovitz.

And so this week, we ask ToI editor David Horovitz, what matters now.
