Peace Press
A media project: Special Project (pilot)

It’s time to talk peace
∙ The mainstream Israeli media has failed to present a balanced
perspective, focusing on war narratives, censoring and omitting
alternative voices
In our effort to promote peace and justice for all, and to
move the conversation away from violence, we are calling
media to action

Our key aims
To collaborate with media influencers and journalists to
shape public discourse on peace and human rights.
Raise public awareness through mainstream media and
social media channels.
Run campaigns against anti-democratic laws, and the
persecution of Palestinians and other minorities.
