"What happens in the newsrooms is only a reflection of how institutions work." - Zahraa Al-Akhrass, former journalist for Canadian national broadcaster, Global News
Canadian immigrant from Jordan/fourth generation Palestinian, Zahraaa Al-Akhrass, who just received Canadian citizenship, shares her story of being terminated from Canadian national broadcaster, Global News, after being accused of making "unbalanced claims" on social media about the recent aggression against Palestine -- all while on maternity leave.
In this episode of The Human Challenge, an Amazon Music x ACAST Indie Podcast Amplifier feature, Zahraa shares the realities of being a non-white journalist, the power, influence, and dominance of the Western media, and how Global News offered her money to not go public with her termination. Zahraa and Vanessa make parallels to other organizations and causes, including the Canadian Indigenous communities.
