DR. YUZITA YAACOB: CONGRATS BISAN !!! 👍❤️ 😊

Salam all,

Gaza journalist Bisan Owda, with AJ+ English's "It's Bisan from Gaza and I'm Still Alive," was recognised with the News Emmy Award for Outstanding Hard News Feature Story: Short Form.

Bisan Owda, a renowned journalist and influencer collaborating with AJ+, has been awarded an Emmy for her exceptional coverage of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Since 7 October 2023, Owda has been at the forefront of reporting, bringing the stories of ordinary Palestinians to a global audience amidst 11 months of war and devastation.

Owda's unique storytelling style and resilience have captured international attention, with her work being extensively cited by global media outlets. Her collaborations with international institutions such as the European Union and the United Nations further underscore the impact of her journalism.

"This award is a testament to young Palestinian journalists and their professionalism. Bisan's reporting has humanised the Palestinian story after decades of mainstream media's systematic dehumanisation of Palestinians. Winning this Emmy is a win for humanity. We feel extremely proud of this bright moment amidst ongoing genocide, and Bisan will continue reporting," said Dima Khatib, Managing Director of AJ+ Channels.

Commenting on the international recognition, Bisan Owda stated, "We all know the truth, but our fear undermines our ability to say it out loud, and sometimes even drives us to hide it! But remember that a world without colonialism is a world without fear... and that truth is the only way we can be free from fear."

This Emmy recognition follows other notable accolades for Owda's fearless reporting, including the Peabody Award and the Radio Television Digital News Association's (RTDNA) Edward R. Murrow Award.
