FEATURING JANNA JIHAD – At the age of 13, Janna Jihad has had more experience as a journalist and a war correspondent than most young journalism graduates. The Palestinian teenager has been reporting from the occupied West Bank since the age of 7, documenting the abuses of Israeli soldiers and settlers at great personal risk. The first cousin of teen activist Ahed Tamimi, Janna has been touring the United States for several weeks now, speaking with Congressional representatives and addressing packed audiences around the US.
