Between tradition and progress: Portraying nurses on Muslim countries postage stamps
This article explores how Arab and Muslim states have represented nurses on postage stamps from 1940 through 2021. Postage stamps provide a visual medium through which states convey social, cultural, and political ideologies and messages. Employing visual analysis and contextual historical methods, this study reveals shifting perceptions of nurses within the interplay between tradition, religion, modernity, science, gender roles, and national ide…
The Role of Postage Stamps in Palestinian National Identity and History
This article examines how the Palestinian Authority has used postage stamps as a tool to construct national identity, shape collective memory, and convey political messages during what it hoped would be a transition to statehood. The analysis focuses on three themes of stamps issued between 1994 and 2023: the struggle for independence and international recognition, the establishment of institutions and symbols as part of the state‐building proces…

Postage Stamps as Political and Religious Propaganda: The Case of Hamas
Habituation of Fear—Israeli-Jewish Population during Protracted Belligerence
The identification of demographic factors of vulnerability and resilience in communities facing belligerent conflicts is increasingly relevant today. This representative study aims to examine the effect of protracted violence on the level of fear of the overall Israeli-Jewish population, and the role of the conflict on the connection between socio-economic factors and fears. Sixty-six representative samples were identified and surveyed from 2001 …
The war of the 60 stamps: The battle for public opinion – how the Nakba influenced Jordanian postage stamps
In December 1969, the Jordanian government issued an unusually large set of postage stamps, containing 60 stamps. The issue commemorated two closely related experiences, which together form one of the most politically sensitive topics in Jordanian history: the memory of the defeat in the 1948 war against Israel and the problem of Palestinian refugees, hundreds of thousands of whom fled to Jordan during the war, following which the term Nakba (e.g…
The Neglected Medium: Postage Stamps as Mass Media
The large number of comprehensive studies on mass media is indicative of the role mass media play in society and societal effects, as a result of which they are instrumental in the analysis, interpretation, and construction of social reality (Shoemaker & Reese, 2014). Mass media themselves—the print press, television, radio, books, as well as the Internet and social media—and especially the contents they produce and widely disseminate, have been …
The advertising industry as a dynamic environment: The Israeli case
Despite its importance in modern daily life, the history of the advertising industry in Israel has elicited little scholarly interest. This article seeks to fill this lacuna by offering the first comprehensive survey of Israel’s advertising industry from its early beginning in 1863 to the present day, while identifying four distinct phases in this process (1863–1922; 1922–1960; 1960–1993; 1993 to the present). It also suggests a theoretical model…
The exodus myth in commercial advertisements in Israeli secular and religious printed press 1948–2008
This article discusses the depiction of the exodus myth in advertisements in Israeli secular and religious daily newspapers from 1948 to 2008. Its premise is that advertising as a persuasive communication tool adapts itself to its target audience. As a result, there are notable differences in the use of the myth in advertisements targeting various audiences. A total of 1907 advertisements were examined with the use of quantitative content analysi…
The German (Fifth) Aliyah and the Development of Israel’s Advertising Industry
This article analyzes the influence of Jewish immigrants on the nascent advertising industry in British Mandatory Palestine. Until a mass wave of immigrants arrived in 1933–1939, local advertising was rather small and undeveloped. Among these immigrants—many of whom arrived from Central Europe, chiefly, Germany (also known as the ‘Fifth’ or ‘German’ Aliyah)—were advertising agents and graphic designers who set up the foundations of professional a…
Sportgulation: Courts as ‘deus ex machina’ in defining the ‘public interest’ in sport broadcasting – The case of Israel
In 2005, following an appeal to the High Court of Justice, secret financial agreements between the Israel Broadcasting Authority and Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team (a privately owned team that plays regularly in top European tournaments) were exposed. The documents revealed that the Israel Broadcasting Authority paid 26 million dollars in the previous six years for broadcasting Maccabi’s games, in addition to indirect payments related to sponso…
The smallest ideological and political battlefield: Depicting borders on postage stamps – the case of Israel
There are few dozen areas in dispute around the world, where the borders have not been agreed by the involved parties or by the international community. The dispute over the Israeli border is particularly complex as it not only presents disagreement between the opposing sides in play but also in the international arena and within the Israeli political system and society. This paper examines one way in which the State of Israel is trying to define…
Media Institutions, News Organizations, and the Journalistic Social Role Worldwide: A Cross-National and Cross-Organizational Study of Codes of Ethics
Journalists and media organizations are often criticized by politicians, the public, and media scholars for not fulfilling their role in society. This study analyzed 242 codes of ethics in 94 countries to identify journalistic social role as perceived by media organizations. It identified and compared journalistic social roles toward society and toward loci of power, based on each country's geopolitical characteristics and type of media organizat…
Media perception of freedom of the press: A comparative international analysis of 242 codes of ethics
This study explores perceptions of freedom of the press by those who practice it: journalists and media organizations. References to freedom of the press in codes of ethics worldwide were analyzed according to the respective characteristics of organizations and the political-economic status of each country considered. The findings show that the concern journalists express about their freedom is not necessarily related to with the level of freedom…

Journalism and Moonlighting: An International Comparison of 242 Codes of Ethics
In this project, we assessed 242 codes of media ethics from 94 countries across the globe, focusing on their treatment of moonlighting. The analysis included whether the codes dealt with moonlighting, whether geopolitical and geoeconomic characteristics affected the treatment of the issue, and whether the type of media organization was significant. Only about half the codes addressed moonlighting; Eastern European countries paid the greatest atte…
A Cross-Cultural Look at Serving the Public Interest: American and Israeli Journalists Consider Ethical Scenarios
This study explores how the social dimensions of a reporter’s world shape ethical decisions through parallel surveys of daily newspaper reporters in Israel and one Midwestern US state. Through regression analysis, we found that personal factors (gender, years of education) were not related to ethical decisions nor were professional factors (professional experience, professional membership, having studied journalism). In contrast, the social conte…
Fifty Years In A "Marriage Of Convenience": News Media And Military Censorship In Israel
One of the characteristics of democratic regimes is the absence of censorship and other prepublication control over the content of the news media. Although the state of Israel is considered to be a democratic state, military censorship has been in operation since the nation's establishment in 1948. The central question discussed in this article is: What are the circumstances and processes that began and preserve this anomalous situation, one that…
