1. The Scoop The Los Angeles Times is prohibiting staff from covering the Gaza war for at least three months if they signed a strongly-worded open letter criticizing Israel’s military operations in the region. Earlier this month, nearly a dozen staffers at the LA Times signed the open letter condemning the Israeli government’s bombing of Gaza, and saying the military operations were harming journalists and threatening newsgathering. The letter also called on newsrooms to use language including “apartheid,” “ethnic cleansing,” and “genocide” when referring to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

  Two people with knowledge of the situation told Semafor that staffers who signed the letter criticizing Israel's military campaign in Gaza have been told that they will not be allowed to cover the conflict in any way for at least three months.
