in a part of this letter, the professors wrote: it seems that the editorial management of the times largely rejected these reports and remained silent about the important and worrying questions raised about its reporting and editorial processes. we believe that this inaction not only harms the times itself, but also actively harms journalists, especially american reporters in conflict zones. it also endangers palestinian journalists, of whom the committee to protect journalists estimates that around 100 of them have been killed by israel. one of these shahan mufti, the signatories, is the head of the journalism department and a professor at the university of richmond, usa. he was also a former reporter for the christian science monitor and magazines such as atlantic harper and the new york times. now we got the opportunity

to talk with one of these writers , mr. shahan mufti, professor and director of the department of journalism at the university of richmond. we are going to virginia, america. along with about 60 professors. journalism in a prominent american university addressed to you wrote to the new york times and questioned the report and claim of this newspaper about the occurrence of sexual violence on the 7th of october. what made you decide to participate in writing this letter and challenging the narrative of the new york times? look, i have to point out that this is very strange for

us, we were careful before sending this letter and i have to say. we didn't say in the letter that this report is wrong because we don't know it ourselves, but we said that when something is not identified and specified, the contents of the report should be reviewed. if it is proven, it should be checked. be written in america. it is said that

there is free journalism and therefore, considering that the government does not have any supervision, it is up to the journalists themselves to create a mechanism among themselves and to comply with those standards, but the problem we had with this article which was published on december 21, 2023 was that things were happening very fast and they hurriedly came and wrote their reports without referring to other problems that existed and the moves that israel was making and without thinking properly about it and the strangest thing was that even after since it became clear that some of the information in this article was wrong, it is not intended at all.

newspapers, when they publish a false report and find out, they correct it, but the new york times did not do this, and in no way did they give that information to anyone, and did not say at all that it was wrong, despite the fact that there was a lot of evidence. and one by one it was revealed that many of the authors of your letter were journalists before you were a professor of journalism at the university. announcing the result of formation. in the hope that

he will restore his damaged reputation, did this action take place, did they review or clarify their action after your letter. in response to our letter, he said that they reviewed and reviewed this report internally within the organization, but we

had never heard of such a thing that they formed an internal committee to review this report and then they we were told that after an internal investigation, we came to the conclusion that this report. we had a lot in that letter and instead of doing this, they just claimed that they wrote this letter he left it himself. there were freelance reporters who did not work full-time for brims. one of them

was an israeli reporter. there was a woman who was fired by the new york times and is no longer working with them, and they are actually out of the force. it 's been a few months now, and we haven't seen any reports from him, so i'm sure that that article is related to the separation and the fact that these two people are not working in this newspaper. now, maybe it was a mistake and because of that mistake, it was done internally. punishing them was one of the things that i saw in the letter and the consequences of such a report was able to create the scope and effect of what the new york times and similar media have with their false narratives since october 7 affected the rest of the media and public opinion, even the decision-making authorities in the west. it is exactly

what you say. the fact that we wrote this letter to the new york times. the false report of the new york times

not only prepared the american society for war, but also caused a disaster for the people of iraq, the people of the region, and even the people of the united states. this happened 20 years ago and new york the times reported on american foreign policy issues cause problems not only for america itself but for the whole world . the new times finally accepted this mistake . it accepted the mistake related to iraq's weapons of mass destruction after a year and published an apology. apologized, but now again. this has happened once again and this is very clear to us, but the new york times has not published any apology this time, and now, maybe in a few months

, the new york times will find out and either delete or delete this report about the sexual assault on october 7th. image. now we hope that this will happen they should realize their mistake and report it, professor mufti, i have a few more questions for you , but among these questions, there are images

that are still with you in today's world. today is the 235th day of the generation war. there was carnage in gaza . in the latest developments

, we saw the bombing of rafah refugees and the burning of palestinians . wasn't the creation of undocumented narratives about hamas forces violating women or beheading children somehow justifying and normalizing the israeli genocide in gaza? this irresponsible journalism did not cause genocide. america has a long history and a long past . i think it is important for us to understand that there is rape against women, especially europeans , and also this story and this rape against women. for a long time, it has always been used against

the non-white population to put pressure on them , so for example, in america , we have seen these cases a long time ago, for example, black people were accused of assaulting white women , especially during the slave era. there was a restoration in america after that and this is part of that race. and these accusations were to prepare the white population, to prepare their thoughts

for violence against foreigners and other races at their own expense, so we still see today that the story of the attack on israeli women actually created a social atmosphere that that political will allows for wild attacks. this kind of reporting is actually a violation of the rights of women and children, and these are not just ordinary writings, but their effects can be seen in this way.

we will pay attention to the length of this war, well, we are the reporters killed in gaza, bloggers and social media activists. during this period, they were able to bring the truth to the ears of the world to the extent that we witnessed a global wave even in american universities protesting the genocide and supporting the palestinians. help see the journalists of the time.

sending to people's mobile phones to people's laptops and informing them about this, in fact, they try to reflect the situation , but in the end, people have different narratives. they hear some of those media.

us government officials. they are very upset about the fact that young people in america and other places are expressing their sympathy with the palestinian people and are working to support them . the sympathy of the people, especially the young generation, is with the palestinians , and this is not what the american government wants. thank you, professor mufti. i want to ask you. you are a professor of journalism at richmond university. i want this from your professorial aspect i would like to ask, in general, if we look back at these seven or eight months, what lessons have been learned from the point of view of journalism and journalism that, for example, you want to share with your students at the university during classes

. i think that this report published by the new york times and we criticized it in that name becomes a very specific and original example and becomes a case study. this becomes a study that becomes a problem that can be studied. i am worried that the newspaper will be considered as an example of false journalism, but i think so the best lesson we learned. this is what many of the basic lessons of journalism that we learn in our classes and practice in the newsroom and in the country's newsroom are about. this is these lessons, in fact one of the most important ones is that the media must be independent, must maintain its independence, must

verify the information it receives from different sources and must not be influenced by influential institutions, and many of these lessons the basic and primary thing that we say in the classes and it was practically determined here, and i think one of the great lessons of this study is that even big journalism institutions and especially big newspapers may deviate from the correct principles of journalism and what we as journalists should follow is that we should not make such mistakes . we saw many mistakes in this. for some time, from the point of view of journalists, some of the newspaper's mistakes are very normal, they may happen in certain circumstances, but the important lesson that we should learn is that when the newspaper or

journalists make a mistake, they should immediately and quickly express it. accept where they insist and insist that no mistake has been made. this insistence and insistence that no mistake has been made is the biggest mistake that the belgian government sends 30 a16 fighters to ukraine . this action

is part of the new security agreement between kyiv and brussels, which was signed during zelenskiy's visit to belgium. in the framework of this agreement , belgium will provide at least 97 million euros in military aid to ukraine this year and is committed to supporting kiev for 10 years of this agreement. the european union has agreed to allocate 5 billion euros to the military aid fund of ukraine this year. china travel congressmen america condemned taiwan. the spokesman of the chinese foreign ministry warned the us against any interference in the country's affairs in response to the emphasis of the us congressional delegations in support of taiwan against china. the chairman of the foreign relations committee of the us house of representatives said in a meeting with the president of taiwan. he and his fellow trains are staunch supporters of taiwan. researchers

warned about the negative effects of global warming on women's childbirth and the birth of babies. the results of a 25 -year study by scientists with 53 million births during this period of the adverse effects of heat waves on the birth of newborns and the impact on their health shows that more heat waves and longer hot weather lead to more premature births. access to housing with reliable air conditioning equipment, the possibility to avoid hard physical work in hot conditions and sanitary conditions may reduce the risks of heat to the health of pregnant women. the number of ships due to the storm rimal in bangladesh, india reached 16 people. the speed of rimal storm is reported to be 135 kilometers per hour. as a result of the storm, more than 2,000 electric poles were uprooted in parts of india. millions of people lost electricity in bangladesh. one million people in these two countries were transferred to amr areas. we have reached the end of the world today. good night,
