Challenges in Reporting on Syria

Accurate reporting on Syria has become increasingly difficult, particularly amid the ongoing transition post-Assad. The Managing Editor of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting emphasized the importance of not sidelining Syrian voices that reflect the complexities of their situation. In the midst of war, vital aspects such as governance, public services, and infrastructure are often overlooked, yet they are critical for the country's function. This report highlights that while emotions regarding liberation are high, focusing solely on dramatic events can fail to convey the pressing needs that ordinary Syrians are currently facing.
