Hi again,

Another one … this time to the right email group.

It’s now been several months of reporting on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East so it’s timely just to remind everyone of the need for care, especially around the language we use, and balance. Contested definitions, for example, around genocide - and the processes around determining that - warrant particular attention.

We can often depend on our reliable wire agencies but in the event of any questions, doubts, or concerns, please refer up.

Thanks,

Mark.
