Khello would encourage German media to be more critical about sources, especially from social media activists in Syria. The media coverage on refugees in Germany is not balanced, he said. The positive stories of “Refugees Welcome” do not adequately reflect refugees’ daily life problems.

Due to their language skills and networks, journalists like Khello and Algasam could support German media e.g. as stringer.
