Publisher of outlet that features Hamas content says press org removed her after she challenged database review

Nika Soon-Shiong, a publisher, announced that she was removed from her position on a press organization's board after challenging a review of a database concerning journalists killed in Gaza. The Committee to Protect Journalists stated her board term expired during the review, which is examining whether militants from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were inaccurately categorized as journalists.

This development highlights ongoing debates surrounding the classification of individuals in conflict zones and raises questions about media representation and accountability in reporting from Gaza.
