972 – Advancement of Citizen Journalism

972 – Advancement of Citizen Journalism was established in 2011 by Israeli and Palestinian journalists and bloggers. Since 2011, the organisation has operated the English-language news and analysis site +972 Magazine, and since 2014, it has operated the Hebrew-language site Local Call (“Siẖa Mekomit”), co-published by Just Vision. Both sites form a powerhouse of binational, independent and uncompromising journalism, committed to justice and equality for all in Israel-Palestine.

+972 Magazine and Local Call are trusted go-to sources for millions of readers who care about the region, including fellow journalists, activists, researchers, policy makers, diplomats, European embassies and US State Department officials. Local and international media pick up the sites’ stories, including The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, The Guardian, BBC, Ha’aretz, and Al Jazeera.
