📢 WE ARE HIRING! We are looking to bring on board a talented investigator to play a key role in shaping our investigations team in the coming years. Airwars’ award-winning Investigations and Accountability team specialises in long-form investigations on matters relating to civilian harm in conflict, typically in conjunction with major international media. In the past year our work has included exposing secret documents around the deaths of civilians, analysis of trade patterns of Russian munitions, visual reconstructions of a prison break and in-depth analysis of civilian harm in Gaza. The unit’s work has been recognised at multiple award ceremonies, including the Amnesty Media Awards and the Open Source Film Awards. The candidate should have at least four years’ experience working on investigative journalism or research, a proven drive and passion for human rights and the kind of work Airwars specialises in, and a record of building source networks and publishing exclusive stories. Send a CV, one-page cover letter and up to two clippings of published investigations to jobs@airwars.org by August 25th, 2024 #hiring #journalism #reporting

On today's Lawfare Daily, Tyler McBrien talked to Kavitha Chekuru, Emily Tripp, samaneh moafi, and Lawrence Abu Hamdan about the documentary, “The Night Won’t End” which profiles three Palestinian families as they try to survive the war in Gaza. https://lnkd.in/eTZaGP-T

Have you seen this resource? The Open Source Munitions Portal is a tool for researchers, journalists and practitioners trying to learn more about munitions and their use and impact in conflicts. It was launched in November 2023. https://osmp.ngo/ Airwars

Great opportunity Airwars

Today, Airwars published the 400th incident of civilian harm in Gaza. Most of these incidents occurred in October 2023 when the conflict was less than a month old. I cannot emphasise enough the scale of the tragedy in Gaza, with over 4,000 cases identified by researchers now waiting to be assessed. Even now, after 400 incidents, the team and I continue to work through cases from the final days of October 2023 after six months of multiple people working seven days a week across this project. The work that Airwars does in researching, documenting and geolocating these incidents foregrounds the civilians killed and injured, and provides essential analysis into the reality of what is happening in Gaza. If you can support Airwars in any way, please do. https://lnkd.in/e7WdXi7e

WE ARE HIRING! Airwars has been documenting all public civilian harm allegations in Gaza since October 7th, amassing an archive of more than 4,000 incidents. In the first six months of the project, Airwars rapidly scaled up our documentation teams in order to meet the unprecedented scale and pace of the work. Due to the rigorous nature of our review process, to date we have published just 10% of the total caseload of incidents monitored. We are looking to bring on board an experienced London-based project manager full time for six months (with the possibility to extend) to lead the next phase of work and support the strategy for Airwars’ longer term documentation initiatives. This will involve building new workflows and systems to increase the speed and productivity of the team, as well as designing and producing new outputs that will enable our documentation to have the most impact in line with Airwars’ strategic goals. We’re #hiring. Know anyone who might be interested? https://lnkd.in/gKWQDpEg
