Executive producer Dennis Bernstein and his team focus on issues and events the mainstream and even some alternative news media usually ignore, such as developments in Palestine, Haiti, and Mexico; the struggles of immigrants, Native Americans, and other minority communities within the U.S.; and problems of police brutality and prisoner rights. The program's coverage of Israel and Palestine, including reports by former senior producer Nora Barrows-Friedman, has been criticized by Zionists.[1]
The Flashpoints team also includes roving producer Miguel Molina, senior producer Kevin Pina and technical director Mike Biggs.[citation needed]
