Abstract

    The study analyzes the framing of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the leading international broadcast media. For this purpose, RT News, Al-Jazeera, BBC, and CNN were selected. Using Framing as theoretical work, the study examined slants and thematic frames with help of content analysis. The timeframe of the study was from Jult-2019-July2022. By using systematical sampling, the 100 news stories each from the News Channels about the conflict were selected for data analysis. The RT and Al-Jazeera gave more coverage to the Pro-Palestine frame whereas BBC and CNN gave more Pro-Israel Coverage. The RT and Al-Jazeera gave more coverage to the human interest frame while BBC and CNN gave more coverage to the conflict frame. Similarly, the responsibility frame got more coverage on Aljazeera and RT though the least coverage was witnessed on BBC and CNN for this Frame.
