The Israeli-Palestinian conflict in news media

Abstract

News media, often known as the news industry, distributes news to the public or a specialized population. News media can be divided into three categories – broadcast, print, and digital. Social media is a type of digital media that enables people to share content, thoughts, and expressions by building and maintaining online groups and networks. News media, including social media, covers a wide range of topics that are pertinent to the world today. This thesis will examine the most relevant ideas and responses from many different articles, journals, and research papers to identify how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is covered in different forms of news media. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been described as one of the world’s most intractable and enduring conflicts. As a result, there has been numerous news coverage of the conflict. This thesis will explore the different forms of media in modern society, the roles they play, the way they present the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the influence they exert on the general public. It will do so by employing media framing and agenda-setting theories.
