A revised look at online journalism in Israel
The flourishing online press in Israel and its implications for Israeli society are assessed according to a four-stage media development model (penetration, institutionalization, self-defence and adaptation). During the first decade of the current millennium, the online press became entrenched, shifting from the penetration stage to the institutionalization stage. Since then, the printed press has been showing signs of adaptation to the new onlin…
Don't patronize me
The proposed paradigm aims at differentiating between two prototypes of ethnic minority media - media-for and media-by minorities - according to a series of twelve criteria clustered into three major categories. The first category comprises four criteria addressing medium initiative and design, i.e. the initiative behind the medium establishment, the nature of its ownership and the identity of its personnel and management. The second offers five …
On Media and Politics
This article challenges the dominant ‘victimizing’ overtones offering a balanced view of the love-hate interaction between politics and media in Israel. The political institution, and politicians in particular, are not helpless 'victims' up against the terrible media. The ongoing broadcast regulation that results in a three-stage process – maturation, implementation, negotiation – may characterize the relations between the two branches of the Isr…
The Red, the White and the Blue
The two waves of immigration to Israel from the former Soviet Union, in the 1970s and the 1990s, have created the largest (over one million people) and most distinct cultural and linguistic ethnic community. Russian-speaking immigrants soon developed their own cultural institutions and attained significant political power. Rising communication needs led to the swift development of Russian media, including radio, television and over one hundred ne…
The consumers choice
This study focuses on two large minorities in Israeli society: the 'returning Diaspora' of Russian immigrants and the 'involuntary' Arab minority. Using survey data, this paper examines the relationship between the use of Hebrew, Russian and/or Arabic media, and the strength of two identities that members of a minority group possess; i. e., the one shared with the Israeli majority and the one based on one's respective minority. Based on the use o…
American-Style Electioneering in Israel
In Search of a Theory of Television News and Public Relations
Media Decentralization
Dan Caspi offers comprehensive introduction to the Israeli mass media and fresh theoretical look at the role and function of free press in democratic society. Two major issues underlie this study, patterned after the pioneering work of Morris Janowitz on the community press in the United States: relations between social and communications systems and reciprocal relations among various mass media. Caspi's primary concern is to determine whether th…
Electoral Rhetoric and Political Polarization
The article is based on a political-stylistic analysis of the first televised debates in Israel, which took place in 1977 and 1981 between Menachem Begin and Shimon Peres. It examines how the Israeli parliamentary democracy adapted and changed the debate format which originated in American presidential elections. The rhetorical strategies of the two candidates are then identified and compared to determine whether they are idiosyncratic or anchore…
On the control of media by politicians
The present article suggests applying a “uses and gratifications” approach to the study of media‐government relationships. According to this approach, the political impact of the media is related to its ability to gratify the cognitive needs of the members of the political elite. The study is based on data collected during the ninth Knesset (Israeli parliament) term. Ninety‐one of the 120 members of the Knesset (MKs) were interviewed and asked to…
Challenging the Pluralistic Intolerance Thesis
Arabs in Israel
It has been argued frequently that democracies can survive if their citizens are committed to constitutional procedures and remain willing to grant civil liberties to minority groups. In ethnically and/or racially diverse democracies, maintenance of minority rightsfrequently has been problematical. This paper examines the commitment of Israeli Jews to the political rights of the Israeli Arab minority. The study is based upon a survey of 490 adult…
Media Decentralization in a Centralized System
Toward an Empirical Theory of Tolerance
This article tests the thesis of pluralistic intolerance developed by Sullivan and his colleagues. The thesis attempts to explain the survival of democracy in the United States despite high levels of political intolerance. The test is conducted with survey data from Israel and Costa Rica. The targets and levels of intolerance in both countries are reported and it is found that in neither one does the thesis seem to apply. The findings lead to the…
