Since the brutal ongoing genocide in Gaza, we have witnessed not only a deepening humanitarian catastrophe but also cracks appearing in Western narrative control. Stories are changing, editorial lines are shifting, and public trust in legacy media is eroding. At the same time, Palestinian voices, once pushed to the margins, are being amplified like never before through social media and alternative platforms.


What we’re witnessing now isn’t just a shift in how Gaza is covered, but who gets to shape that coverage.


For years, the dominant narrative has been tightly controlled: Israel as the democratic victim, Palestinians as aggressors.


But that story no longer holds, at least not unchallenged.
