The publisher of Drop Site News is no longer on the board of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), implying that she was removed after she questioned the organisation's exclusion of certain Palestinian journalists from its Gaza death toll, Nika Soon-Shiong revealed on Monday.

"I have been informed that I'm no longer a member of the Committee to Protect Journalists board," she wrote on X, attaching the original email of concern she shared with fellow board members.

When asked about whether Soon-Shiong's removal from the board was related to the review being undertaken at the organisation, CPJ told Middle East Eye in an emailed statement that her "five year board term ended in June 2026".

What? This is about declaring Palestinian journalists terrorists without evidence.
