Configuring terrorism in the age of Isis
This study inquires whether cultural proximity may explain how media handle terrorism in a global village era where cultural proximity may have given way to cosmopolitanism in news-making. Findings indicate that although loss of life is not culture-bound, cultural proximity persists, as comes through in the sheer contrast in the amount of coverage devoted to Paris versus Beirut. This distinction ought to be qualified, for even with Paris, the sel…
Performances of the Online Self for Networked Audiences
Social media affordances enable us to construct multi-faceted online identities and personal brands that we use to engage and interact with audiences—defined and ambiguous, intended and unintended. There is a need to examine such online identities and associated micro-celebrity practices by users who appeal to multiple audiences through the strategic use of online spaces. In this special issue, we explore performances of our digital selves and th…
Violence against Women Digitized
This study examined Times of India's online portrayal of violence against women during the summer of 2013, about six months after the Delhi Gang Rape. We used a purposive sample of news videos reporting violence against women that were published on the Times of India website. We performed textual analysis to answer two research questions. First, how was violence against women portrayed in TOI's online video footage? And second, how do such portra…
A watchdog to reckon with
The discussion about the relationship between globalization and journalism has stressed the westernization of information flows, contra-flows, and the globalization of news practices. Beyond information flows and news practices, it is important to examine the impact that globalization has on news narratives. With the emergence of the extra-national WikiLeaks, it is possible that the ‘national narrative’ through which journalists interpret informa…
When the “Fortress Crumbled”
This study seeks to investigate how mainstream U.S. newspapers construct the Palestinian resort to political violence toward statehood within one key moment of the second intifada: Israeli incursions into the West Bank town of Jenin. Ultimately, the study seeks to better illuminate the role of media in social control and influence in context of the Palestine-Israel conflict. Nationalism seemed to play a noticeable role in newsmaking, a role whose…
Making Sense of a Barrier
This study investigates mainstream U.S. newspaper discourses concerning the dividing wall that Israel built as a separation barrier from the West Bank. In so doing, it ultimately seeks to further explore news media’s role as agents of social control and influence. Findings indicate that in invoking the nationalism dimension, the news did not handle the primordial element adequately, and that emphasis on violence and revenge as well as the tragedy…
Territory under siege
This article examines US and Israeli newspaper coverage of the Palestinian—Israeli and Fatah— Hamas conflicts in January 2008 to make claims about the role that national interests play in the manufacture of news. Specifically, the authors interrogate the ‘their/our’ news dichotomy to argue that when two nation-states’ foreign policy interests and their ‘Others’ converge, those shared assumptions will inform the meaning of ‘their’ news constructed…
In the Eye of the Occupier
This paper investigates how a mainstream American newspaper (The New York Times) and an Indian counterpart (The Times of India) construct political violence within the American occupation of Iraq, and how they reconcile notions of democracy and occupation. For both newspapers, Saddam Hussein's execution is the reference point to guide news selection. Findings indicate some differences in the two papers’ coverage, partly explained by the countries…
American' in crisis
During the Iraq War, news of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal and the beheading of American citizen Nick Berg disturbed Americans, as they were left trying to negotiate the meanings of these events, wondering what `we' (Americans) stand for versus what `they' (Iraqis) do. These events — and the news media's communication of them to the American public — created a situation we call `nationalistic ambiguity', where occurrences present a mixed me…
Mission statehood
Media play a pivotal role in reporting news of distant conflicts. In doing so, they also construct normal/deviant dichotomies. This study investigates construction of Palestinian political violence in US news media within the second Palestinian intifada. It sheds light on media's role as agents of social control and influence by examining labels on violence committed by various parties and the use of primordial- and instrumental-type explanations…
In the Shadow of a Leader
This study investigates the construction of Palestinian political violence in US news within the second Palestinian intifada, using Arafat's death as a key moment. It sheds light on the role of media as critical public informants about political violence by examining such elements as labels attached to violence and how these elements speak to ideologies embedded in the news concerning the Palestinian struggle for state. News articles were chosen …
