IsraelCast Episode 206

As the only Israeli newswire service, Tazpit Press Service (TPS) is responsible for keeping Israel and the world up to date on what’s happening in the world. With over 450 photojournalist volunteers, TPS is often first on the scene, disseminating accurate news in a sea of misinformation. Host Steven Shalowitz sits down with Rachael Stern, Director of Operations at Tazpit Press Service, to discuss exposing people to different perspectives, examples of TPS delivering breaking stories after having people on the scene firsthand, and delivering the news post-October 7.
