Dear Lisa,

By which editorial process will you decide what should be said and by whom on this subject association's communication forum?

Are you preventing us from commenting on media coverage of the current massacre in Gaza by the Israeli government, supported by our own governments?

Are you suggesting that such a discussion is not possible on this list?

Best wishes,

Cahal

Dear Subscribers

The MECCSA list is for "For discussion of aspects of academic research & teaching within Media, Communication, Film, Television & Cultural Studies. Designed to support HE lecturers & researchers within the Media Communication and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA) Members' interests include practice & theory."

Discussions outside of this area are deemed to be "off-topic" and "irrelevant" to the purpose of the list.
Posting off-topic/irrelevant messages to a list, or personal attacks is against JiscMail Service Policies: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/ - everyone who uses JiscMail is required to operate within these service policies.

I am therefore requesting that the discussions on the thread "Re: Behind the News from Gaza" cease with immediate effect.

I'm also reminding subscribers that the list has public archives, so anyone using the internet can read/search and review these discussions.

If subscribers wish to continue to discuss this topic then please find a more appropriate discussion forum, this list is not the place to do it.

Thank you.

Lisa
