The making of military heroes by the Israeli media
Is there a place for military heroes in a post-heroic era and during post-heroic warfare? This article, focusing on the role of the media, especially popular media, in the construction of military heroes and heroism in twenty-first century Israeli society, suggests that, at least within the media, such heroes still play an important role. Based on test cases, among them the 2010 Mavi Marmara affair, the article presents and analyses journalistic …
Journalists who cross over to politics
The crossover of journalists to politics is not a novel phenomenon, but in Israel it has intensified in recent years with the increase in the number and the name recognition of the journalists who make the transition. Why do journalists make the transition to politics? Do they make an effective use of their media skills, and how do they perform as parliamentarians? To address these questions, semi-structured interviews were conducted with parliam…

The development of such discourse is presented as the culmination of an ongoing process of transformation of the political discourse in Israel since 1977. The process was inspired by the American polit…

Bourdieu's interpretive research framework regarding symbolic and social capitals, as well as media capital, is used here to analyse Lapid's versatile career and celebrity status as the background to his performance d…
Beyond the Military Sphere
The article discusses the political and public debates in Israel over the appropriateness of a military radio station in a democratic state. The Israeli station was established in 1950 to assist the defense forces in absorbing and educating new Jewish immigrants, but later developed to become one of Israel's major media outlets. Previously unstudied documents reveal that the initiative to launch the station was met with criticism from its early s…
