Hal media

The news coverage offered by the media in Palestine is currently only a partial response to the expectations of young people, despite their accounting for a significant proportion of the population. If they are to re-engage with this audience, the media has to update how it produces information, must offer inspirational and constructive content, provide in-depth analysis of news and adopt a new treatment of it.

Without compromising on the essential aspects of ethics and investigative work, solutions journalism is at the core of a journalist's work: informing, collaborating with and empowering the public as a whole. Such an approach is also a way in which to strengthen the link between the media and their audience, by involving the public in order to elicit a response.

The Hal media project – Hal means "solution" in Arabic – aims to encourage the development of solutions journalism in the Palestinian media, not only at a national level, but also locally and online, thereby contributing to the creation of positive and stimulating content more specifically targeted at the young and women and on topics of paramount importance to them (employment, education, health, etc.).
