59. Author: Ennam Abdelghanie Title: Al Jazeera and NHK Coverage of the 2003 Iraq War: A Content Analysis-based Comparative Study of Arab and Japanese Media Models Publisher: Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany Year: 2011 Language: English
Description: This book is a rigorous comparative study of how Al Jazeera, the Qatari non-state-run network that has become an influential global media, and NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster and a major member in Japan National Press Club, covered the 2003 American preemptive move into Iraq. It analyses the two channels’ editorial interplay with the warring parties and their commitment to professional news broadcasting at wartime amid assumptions of vulnerability to those in power in Qatar and Japan. It is a valuable addition to the comparative research on Arab and Japanese media. The book combines media studies, content analysis, framing theory, war studies, and IR theory to provide a simplified interdisciplinary comparative study of the way Arab and Japanese media treated the 2003 Iraq War. 60.
