Critical Discourse Analysis of Media Coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli War in Two News Channels
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: : This study employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine how the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is represented in media coverage by contrasting two prominent news channels: Al-Jazeera (Arab) and BBC News (British). By analyzing news reports from the period of December 2-30, 2023, this research aims to uncover how differing ideologies and power dynamics shape the portrayal of identical events. The study focuses on linguistic features, discursive practices, and ideological influences to understand the role of media language in constructing and reflecting societal power structures. Through a qualitative approach and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, the research provides insights into the biases and hegemonic tendencies within media discourse, contributing to a broader understanding of how media narratives impact public perception and reflect political orientations. Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Media Representation, Palestinian-Israeli Conflict, Ideological Bias, Linguistic Features, Comparative Media Analysis.
