Western Media Coverage of the Ongoing War in Gaza

Abstract

This paper examines the portrayal of the ongoing conflict in Gaza by Western media outlets, analyzing the framing, biases, and narratives that shape public perception. Through a critical discourse analysis of major news networks, the study reveals patterns of selective reporting, the emphasis on certain narratives over others, and the impact of geopolitical alliances on media coverage. The research highlights how the representation of the Gaza conflict in Western media influences international opinions and policy-making, often marginalizing the voices and experiences of those directly affected by the war.
