Based on rigorous research, this book examines media coverage of the conflict in the Middle East and the impact it has on public opinion. Focusing on television news, the authors illustrate major differences in the way Israelis and Palestinians are represented, and combine this with extensive audience surveys. They also explore the processes that shape the news, looking at patterns of ownership and at how public relations, information control and the close political links between the U.S. and Britain affect what we see and hear in the media.
