Israeli strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza killed five journalists, according to health officials. Among the victims was Mariam Dagga, a 33-year-old freelance journalist for the Associated Press, who had recently reported on children suffering from starvation at the same hospital. The AP expressed shock and sadness, stating they are working to ensure the safety of their remaining journalists in Gaza. Two strikes hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, resulting in a total of 20 deaths. The Israeli military said it conducted a strike in the area, targeting a Hamas surveillance camera, and would investigate the incident, regretting any harm to uninvolved individuals. Other news organizations, including Al Jazeera and Reuters, also confirmed the deaths of their staff members in the attack. The Committee to Protect Journalists reported that 189 journalists have been killed in Gaza during the 22-month conflict, highlighting the extreme danger faced by media workers in the region. Many journalists in Gaza, like Dagga, face the same struggles as the people they cover, including food shortages and displacement. The incident drew sharp criticism from press freedom advocates, who called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting to address Israel's failure to protect journalists. Israel has barred international media from covering the war, relying largely on Palestinian journalists, often questioning their affiliations and biases. The Foreign Press Association appealed to international leaders to protect journalists in Gaza.

In Sand Point, Alaska, KSDP, a public radio station, serves as a lifeline for its 600 residents, providing local news, emergency alerts, and high school sports coverage. It plays a crucial role, especially given the lack of a local newspaper. The station recently interviewed a fish biologist, providing crucial updates on fishing schedules that directly impact the community's livelihood. However, the station's future is threatened by the Congressional decision to rescind all funding for public broadcasting. KSDP receives 70% of its budget from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), and the loss of this funding is considered catastrophic. The station's general manager, Austin Roof, expresses his concern about the station's future, highlighting its role in providing essential information during tsunamis and other emergencies. KSDP also serves as a community hub, hosting events and providing support to residents. The station's reporter, Theo Greenly, covers a vast and remote archipelago, often traveling to isolated communities to report on critical issues such as food shortages, algae blooms, and the closure of a major employer. Greenly's work highlights the importance of local journalism in areas with limited news sources. He emphasizes that while some may access information online, the radio station's reporting and dissemination of that information are crucial. The cuts to public broadcasting will significantly impact the station's ability to operate, potentially leading to the shutdown of its AM signal and a reduction in staff. The loss of KSDP would leave a significant gap in local news coverage and emergency alerts for the community and the region. Greenly, facing the potential loss of his job, expresses more concern for the community and the nation than for himself.
