However, a campaign by British activists and media professionals pressured the RTS to reinstate the award. Over 370 media figures signed an open letter demanding transparency around the decision to remove the category\u2014leading to the eventual reinstatement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"1337\">Earlier this month, the group Artists for Palestine welcomed the return of the award and issued a statement calling for a \u201cfull organizational review\u201d in consultation with the sector the RTS claims to represent. The withdrawal was reportedly linked to earlier controversy involving the BBC\u2019s decision to pull a documentary about Gaza due to one subject being the son of a Hamas leader.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10939\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10939 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ffff-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Palestinian journalism faces devastating losses as Israeli airstrikes target press members\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ffff-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ffff-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ffff-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ffff.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli Occupation Kills 204 Journalists and Media Activists<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"38\"><strong data-start=\"4\" data-end=\"38\">Silent Tribute, Omitted Truths<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1339\" data-end=\"1624\">However, according to attendees at Tuesday\u2019s ceremony, no one was invited to accept the award, no Palestinian voices were heard, Israel was not mentioned, and the staggering toll of 208 Palestinian journalists killed in the ongoing genocide in Gaza was left unacknowledged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1819\">In an RTS post on X (formerly Twitter), the society simply noted that the Special Award was given to journalists in Gaza, sharing a designed image of the award but omitting all further details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1913\">On the RTS website, under the award winners section, the entry for the Special Award read:\u201cThe Middle East crisis is a highly complex and fast-developing challenge for news organizations. With international journalists unable to report from Gaza, the responsibility of covering this critical story has fallen to local media teams. These individuals face immense risks reporting directly from the front lines. This award is not for one person, team, or outlet\u2014but honors the courage and commitment of journalists who risk their lives every day. The Royal Television Society presents the Special Award for News and Journalism to the journalists in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14726\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14726\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14726 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/564.jpg\" alt=\"war crimes against press\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/564.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/564-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/564-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">journalist deaths Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"29\"><strong data-start=\"4\" data-end=\"29\">Recognition Amid Loss<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2480\" data-end=\"2607\">Following the announcement, a group of Palestinian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/13\/jonathan-dimbleby-slams-rts-for-canceling-gaza-journalism-award-calls-decision-cowardly\/\">journalists<\/a> from Gaza and the West Bank sent a message to the RTS stating:\u201cWe write to you as two more of our colleagues have just been martyred.
