The Importance of Prioritizing Quality Journalism in Kurdish Digital Media
Zhyan Aziz Mahmood, Magded Khdir Ahmad
The concept of quality and its application in digital media play a pivotal role in enhancing performance and improving user satisfaction. Accordingly, this study seeks to identify and assess the extent to which journalistic quality standards are prioritized in digital media and to examine their impact on professional journalistic performance. In the current media landscape, earning public trust has become essential, requiring adherence to recognized standards and mechanisms that ensure the quality of journalistic output. The significance of this research lies in its focus on Kurdish digital media, where evaluating the degree of attention to quality journalism provides valuable insights into how media outlets can align with professional standards, improve their performance, and strengthen public trust. The study aims to investigate the presence and application of journalistic quality standards in media content by analyzing both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of news reporting. The findings indicate that while the Ava News and Ava Media websites demonstrate some adherence to reliability standards, particularly in ensuring message clarity, their practice of impartiality is limited. The analysis reveals a tendency to prioritize governmental perspectives over balanced reporting and a lack of respect for diverse public opinions. Furthermore, the credibility of the news is undermined by the insufficient attribution of authentic sources.
Volume 12 · Issue 5 · October 2025Kurdish Media’s Role in Covering the 2017 Referendum in Kurdistan Region
Zahra Ihsan Ramazan, Omran Omar Ali
In this research, we have evaluated the role of Kurdish media in covering the 2017 referendum campaign in the Kurdistan region, and to what extent the Kurdish media were united during the Kurdistan referendum period. Since the Kurdish referendum held a diverse number of messages, the media played a vital role in disseminating and delivering these messages to neighboring countries and other political parties in the state, and also internationally. We conducted this research to investigate and determine whether the media could have played a positive or negative role in the referendum case, what kind of effect they had, and also to define a united role in some of the major Kurdish media channels. Therefore, we have chosen three Kurdish media to cover in this research: Rudaw, Kurdistan 24, and NRT. Because of Rudaw, Kurdistan 24, and NRT’s high viewership, popularity, and influence among the Kurds all over the world, also for NRT having and delivering a notably different message than the others during the period of the Kurdish referendum, we have made a comparison between these three media channels. As a result, it shows that these three media failed to present a united role in the Kurdish referendum case. Displaying a fragile role, and due to the lack of unity in their message, they were unable to be effective.
