We discuss Daraj Media, her three-decades long career as a journalist and the current state of freedom of expression in Lebanon,
We also talk about her start at Future TV and an illustrious career beginning in 1993 tackling underreported issues including gender and minority rights. Our conversation includes systemic state failure and challenges when pushing for accountability, traditional media's advantages and disadvantages in the digital age, and where alternative media stands in an otherwise chaotic media climate.
Diana is a cofounder of Daraj Media.
