Media Department

The Media Department contains the International Middle East Media Center (IMEMC).  Being a joint Palestinian-International effort, IMEMC combines Palestinian journalists' deep understanding of the context, history, and the socio-political environment with International journalists' skills in non-partisan reporting.

IMEMC provides fair and comprehensive coverage of events and developments in Israel-Palestine.

IMEMC provides coverage of news, political developments and daily incidents combined with feature stories, political analysis, interviews and selected opinion pieces.  IMEMC provides a daily news cast in English and Italian languages, which provides nearly five minutes featuring main incidents of the day.

In addition IMEMC produces a weekly audio summary of socio-political developments in Israel-Palestine to keep you updated.

IMEMC also provides field reports on main issues of interest to its targeted audience.

The IMEMC production unit will produce documentaries that feature marginalized issues and people in remote villages.  In addition, IMEMC has a vision to provide positive news from Palestine through video which will fill a gap in the news about Palestine.

The International main stream media lacks reports from Palestine on the hardship that Palestinians face because of the Israeli occupation in Palestine and also lacks any good and positive news from Palestine.

The little reporting creates a very negative image about this part of the world and reinforces stereotypes.  Consequently, the cultural cap between the Palestinians and the western society is growing as time passes.  For peace to be achieved in this region, understanding between the Palestinians and the Western world is needed.  Without this understanding western communities will continue to antagonize the Palestinians since they know very little about their culture and cause.

Media plays a very important role in creating this understanding or misunderstanding.  We strongly believe that the past twenty years of PCR’s work contributed tremendously in bridging the gap between the Palestinians and grassroots people from many countries around the globe.

Since IMEMC was established, more and more average Americans, and Europeans became more informed about the area which helps decrease the gap and make chances for peace much closer.
