Reem el-Hassan

Reem el-Hassan is a Lebanese journalist, hijabi, and devout Muslim who reports on Palestine and Lebanon for Noizez. She has spent her career refusing the choice — repeatedly demanded by Western editors — between being a religious woman and a serious political writer. She files from Beirut, Hebron, Gaza when she can reach it, and the long-distance archives of Sabra-Shatila when she cannot. She reads in Arabic, English, and the silences in between.
