Intifada Hits the Headlines - How Israeli Press Misreported Outbreak of Second Palestinian

Informationen zum Autor Daniel Dor Klappentext Rather than a supreme authority, Dor argues, it is the influence of fear, anger, ignorance, and a desire to please and sell newspapers that threatens the freedom of the press in a liberal democracy. Zusammenfassung Presenting the study of newspaper reports during the escalation of the second Intifada in the fall of 2000, this title shows how reality is subject to distortion and manipulation by the media. It reveals how newspapers were able to produce and participate in a consensual narrative that ended the peace process. Inhaltsverzeichnis Table of Contents: Preface Acknowledgments 1. Introduction 2.
