Safa Bannani

Safa Bannani is a senior journalist and media consultant whose work sits at the intersection of rigorous reporting, editorial leadership, and strategic communication across international media and advocacy spaces.

With a professional trajectory spanning Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, the European Network Against Racism (ENAR), and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), she brings a rare dual expertise: producing high-impact journalism while shaping media strategies for organizations operating in complex political environments. At Middle East Eye, she has delivered investigative and analytical coverage on Middle East politics, migration, and social justice, while also contributing to editorial positioning and audience development for the French edition.

Her experience at ENAR strengthened her command of human rights communication, where she worked on advocacy, press relations, and in-depth reporting on racial discrimination in Europe. More recently, at IFJ, she has been directly involved in initiatives supporting journalists under pressure, including co-authoring a legal guide for Tunisian journalists and contributing to projects that reinforce independent media ecosystems, notably through the Palestinian Media Fund.

Safa Bannani’s profile speaks to organizations seeking more than technical expertise. She brings intellectual depth, political literacy, and a sharp editorial instinct, combined with a strong commitment to journalism that challenges power structures and centers underrepresented voices. Her work is defined by clarity, impact, and the ability to translate complex social and political realities into narratives that resonate with both public audiences and decision-makers.
