At least 77 members of the media have been killed in the Israel-Gaza war, press watchdog says — most of them Palestinian journalists in Gaza.
4 days ago we interviewed Roshdi Sarraj for a @washingtonpost story about the 23 journalists killed in the Israel-Gaza war. Roshdi, also a journalist, spoke of his late Palestinian colleagues with pride. Today we discovered that Roshdi was killed in an Israeli strike on his home

On TikTok, people are using AI to depict dead and missing children "narrating" their stories. Critics say it's disgusting. Experts say it could "re-traumatize the bereaved." Some of the creators say it's a new way to raise awareness. By @GuinnessKebab:
washingtonpost.com
The videos show the likeness of Gabriel Fernández, James Bulger and Madeleine McCann narrating their deaths or disappearances in child-like voices.
