From a press release announcing the new website The Daily Nuisance:
Today, a new journalist collective based in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories launches its online publication, The Daily Nuisance (TDN). Employing Palestinian, Israeli, and locally-based international journalists, TDN (found at www.thedailynuisance.com) aims to add diverse and on-the-ground voices to the ongoing coverage of the region.
Emerging outside the confines of the mainstream media rat race to reproduce one dimensional images of the Middle East, TDN is an independent, and investigative eye from the ground on one of the world’s most misrepresented regions. The Daily Nuisance is a local, cross-wall news collective that will work to counteract those misrepresentations.
“Above all justice and peace needs Americans to be honestly informed. Unless and until there are, no American president will have the space to break the stranglehold of the Zionist lobby on Congress on matters relating to Israel/Palestine,” Alan Hart, prolific Middle East journalist and author, told TDN.
Renowned historian and author of A People’s History of the United States, Howard Zinn, spoke to TDN about the need for News from the Frontier. “Given the corporate domination of the major media, and the timidity that pervades contemporary journalism, we desperately need independent media to fulfill the promise of democracy, which requires that the public be fully informed about matters which affect all of our lives,” he stressed.
