''+972 Magazine'' is a left-wing news and commentary group blog〔〔 that was established independently in August 2010 by a group of writers based in Israel and Palestine, though now includes North American writers.〔 ''+972'' has regular writers but also publishes guest contributors. The enterprise is jointly owned by the authors and editorial team and is non-profit. The content on ''+972 Magazine'' represents a point of view that is left wing and progressive. Writer Noam Sheizaf, ''+972'' chief executive officer, described the impetus for ''+972'' as a "will to sound a new and mostly young voice which would take part in the international debate regarding Israel and Palestine." The name of the magazine is derived from the 972 international dialing code that is shared by Israel and the Palestinian territories.〔 ==History, goals, management structure== Liel Leibovitz writing in Tablet, +972 was founded in August, 2011 when four working journalists who also blog and hold progressive and anti-occupation views agreed to create a shared platform.〔 Sarah Wildman, writing in The Nation described +972 as, "Born in the summer of 2010 as an umbrella outfit for a group of (mostly) pre-existing blogs... The site is now an online home for more than a dozen writers, a mix of Israelis, binational American- and Canadian-Israelis, and two Palestinians, all of whom occupy, if you’ll forgive the term, space on the spectrum of the left."〔 +972 has a horizontal, collaborative organizational structure.〔 Proposed new members are "voted on by the group and can be rejected."〔 The editor has authority neither to hire nor to fire members, rather, the collaborative hires and fires the editor.〔 The magazine has an, "unorthodox journalistic ethos: All the magazine’s bloggers have complete freedom to write whenever and whatever they want."〔 According to The Nation, editors do not make assignments, "There is no hierarchy. Two rotating editors (changed to one editor ) copy-edit and do a light legal sweep on each story... If they see something that needs to be changed for legal reasons, they’ll notify the writer before making the change." 〔 According to Leibovitz, "the magazine’s reported pieces... adhere to sound journalistic practices of news gathering and unbiased reporting," while its commentary and essays, like its members, are, dedicated "to promoting a progressive worldview of Israeli politics, advocating an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, and protecting human and civil rights in Israel and Palestine," and "support specific causes and are aimed at social and political change." According to The Nation, the editors rarely do more than copy-edit and scan for legal problems.〔 According to Leibovitz, +972 reporters are well-positioned to report from the West Bank because several member of the cooperative are "frequent participants in joint Israeli-Palestinian demonstrations behind the Green Line," and work closely with, "the activists who coordinate such protests."〔 Sarah Wildman writing in The Nation calls it, "purposefully, uniformly progressive."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「+972 Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
