Can editorial standards be applied fairly in highly polarized situations? The case of Israel and Gaza

Bitter divisions over the war in Gaza have provoked a flood of allegations that Canadian and American media have abandoned editorial standards in their coverage. Key questions will address bias, editorial responsibility, the balance between fairness and advocacy, and the role of media in shaping public perception.
