Foreign media access to Gaza or face revolt is what Representative James P. McGovern leads 64 lawmakers in a powerful letter to US president, arguing the Israeli curbs on foreign reporting undermine “the very foundation of press freedom and democratic accountability.” “The restrictions on media reporting have created significant challenges in obtaining accurate, verifiable information from the genocide in Gaza, leading to increased scepticism about the limited reports that do emerge,” the members wrote in a powerful letter. Foreign media access to Gaza or face revolt Foreign media remains largely barred from the blockaded area, with only a handful of…

Quick View – Contents What the media made of Tuchel’s appointment as England manager  For England fans the expectation for the new England manager is always simple: lead us to a major trophy. For only the third time in their history, England has named a foreign manager.  Thomas Tuchel is a dream manager for many England fans – but not everyone in the media agrees.  He has the experience and skill to bring football home again and lead this immensely talented group of young English players to world cup glory in 2026. 

“The FA’s decision to appoint Thomas Tuchel as the new England manager is so, so sad. … The manager of a national team, any national team, should be from the same country as his players. It should be compulsory, one of the rules of the game, a point that isn’t even up for discussion. … This should be about one country’s best taking on another country’s best. If that best isn’t good enough, then so be it. Do something about the lack of resources at your disposal to ensure you do have the best players and coaches if you want to win something.”

The FA also suffers because the country’s main football competition is not really an English league but a global league that happens to be in England. Its ownership is international and their interest is in commercially growing clubs to international size, which means they just want the best coaches – no matter where they’re from. Hence its managerial make-up is four Spanish, three English, two Dutch, two Portuguese, one Australian, one Austrian, one Danish, one German, one Italian, one Northern Irish, one Scottish and one Welsh.

One thing needs to be made clear at this point. It would be wholly incorrect to accuse Jeff Powell of the Daily Mail of either intentionally or unintentionally reframing the rhetoric and phrasing of Adolf Hitler in the form of a football article. Or indeed, of being in some way Nazi-adjacent in the rhetoric of what was a logical, well-reasoned article this week on the issues surrounding overseas managerial appointments.

A key lesson of the week, however, is just how vital it is to stay in control of our message; to be so, so careful about how we express
