Fellows in the class of 2025 at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism have chosen +972 Magazine, an independent, nonprofit news organization run by a binational team of Palestinian and Israeli journalists, for this year’s Louis M. Lyons Award for Conscience and Integrity in Journalism.
In making their selection, the Nieman Fellows recognized +972 Magazine — whose mission is to provide in-depth reporting “from the ground in Israel-Palestine” — for work that illuminates the complexity of life and politics in the region.
Announcing the Lyons award, the fellows said: “With its unflinching commitment to facts in a highly contentious, often dangerous landscape, +972 Magazine has worked relentlessly with great moral conscience and deep integrity to document the human cost of war and occupation.
“+972’s investigative work has documented how military actions, including the use of artificial intelligence and drones, have resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians, as well as the targeting of working journalists in Gaza. At a time when dialogue has all but collapsed, +972 Magazine’s binational team proves that journalism can build bridges and narrow divides by showcasing perspectives that are overlooked or marginalized by mainstream narratives.”
