Author: Saber Baggour Title: Al Jazeera’s Vision of ISIS through Facebook: Discourse and Patterns of Public Awareness Publisher: Gulf House for Press and Publishing, Jordan Year: 2017 Language: Arabic Description: This book stems from a basic premise that social networks, which are widely used as sources for satellite news channels, immerse users in artificial situations and build for a social reality in the form of mental images. Through accumulation homogeneous discourses, these networks seek to convince users that what they see on screen is a true version of the reality. This study analyzes Al Jazeera Mubasher’s Facebook posts about the “Islamic State” through which it shaped the public’s awareness that appears through their comments. Drawing on theoretical frameworks, such as critical theory and phenomenology, the author used discourse analysis and framing analysis to identify the ways the discourse of social media promotes specific ideological and normative frames to shape the minds of the public.
