43. Author: Augusto Valeriani Title: The Al Jazeera Effect: Transnationalism and Hybridizations in the Systems of Contemporary Arab Journalism Publisher: I Libri di Emil, Italy Year: 2010 Language: Italian
Description: This book is based on multi-site fieldwork research conducted in Cairo, Doha and Dubai. The book uses Egypt as a case study and examines the complex relationship between Pan-Arab satellite news media and Arab national media systems. Since their launch, Al Jazeera in particular, engaged Arab National newspapers and televisions in a fierce competition: Pan-Arab media rely on greater economic and professional resources, together with a higher degree of editorial freedom. The book focuses on Arab journalists as actors in a ‘transnational relationship’. Through a discussion of negotiation processes involving journalists in defining the values and practices of their own professional culture, the author investigates how far the coverage and practices of Pan-Arab news-only television broadcasters have blurred the borders of national media systems. 44. Author: Tamara Al Om Title: Constructing Reality: The Palestinian Israeli Conflict - A Comparison of Al Jazeera, BBC and CNN Publisher: VDM, Germany Year: 2010 Language: English Description: This book is an examination of the mainstream media’s representation of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict and the consequent effects of these ‘constructed realities’. The propaganda model features significantly in this work in an attempt to investigate whether the media sources analyzed are subjected to the five filters introduced by Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman. This book also provides some indication of the ideological constraints faced by each of the news sources, which allows for the emergence of a critical discourse surrounding the role of the media and the positions of the dominant parties involved in the conflict. In order to do this an analysis of Al Jazeera, BBC and CNN was carried out on 137 articles published on their respective news websites for two months.
