Framing of media coverage of the Palestinian -Israeli conflict in CNN and FoxNews

Abstract

Abstract— Use of media, especially television, is an important point in the history of important events and recent wars. This type of media coverage of events and wars transfers the audience to the heart of the event and has a direct impact on public opinion internationally. For example, much criticism has been directed at the American media regarding coverage of the Israeli aggression on Gaza. Many demonstrations against the two largest networks in the United States, CNN and FOXNEWS, have also taken place in New York City to protest against the biased media coverage of the Palestinians and the Israeli aggression against Gaza.This paper contains various news frameworks used in media coverage of events and its result and impact on different audiences. In conclusion, the study addressing the mentioned conflict declared that the coverage was biased and non- objective, relying heavily on Israeli sources in comparison to Palestinian sources.
