More Bad News From Israel: Edition 2
About this ebook
The book brings together senior journalists and ordinary viewers to examine how audiences understand the news and how their views are shaped by media reporting. In the largest study ever undertaken in this area, the authors focus on television news, illustrating major differences in the way Israelis and Palestinians are represented, including how casualties are shown and the presentation of the motives and rationales of both sides.
Combining these findings with extensive audience research involving hundreds of participants from the USA, Britain and Germany, More Bad News From Israel is a masterclass in understanding how people perceive the conflict thanks to media bias.
