MEDIA REPRESENTATION AND FRAMING OF THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT
 
ABSTRACT
The media's role in shaping public perceptions and influencing policy discourse is pivotal, particularly in the context of the protracted Israel-Palestine conflict. This research aims to conduct a critical analysis of media representation and framing of the conflict, examining how diverse international media outlets portray and contextualize events. Employing a qualitative approach, the study will scrutinize news articles, television broadcasts, and online content to identify recurring frames, linguistic patterns, and the implicit biases that may shape public understanding. By employing framing theory, the research seeks to unveil the underlying narratives that contribute to the construction of meaning in media coverage. Additionally, the study will explore the potential impact of media framing on public attitudes, political decision-making, and international perceptions of the conflict. The findings aim to contribute to media studies, offering insights into the role of media in shaping narratives around geopolitical conflicts and influencing public opinion on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
