Media Coverage Of The Arab–Israeli Conflict
Media coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict by journalists in international news media has been said to be biased by both sides and independent observers. These perceptions of bias, possibly exacerbated by the hostile media effect, have generated more complaints of partisan reporting than any other news topic and have led to a proliferation of media watchdog groups. Types of bias The language of conflict Diction, or word choice, affects the interpretation of the same set of entities or events.
