| Summary |
"A Violent World analyzes images on three channels - global CNN, Israeli IBA, and Palestinian PATV - that contribute heavily to how the current violence in the Middle East is framed. Nitzan Ben-Shaul uses critical media theory and qualitative and aesthetic approaches drawn from cinema studies to examine how dominant ideologies are embedded in mainstream TV news. Specifically, he focuses on the American elites' global ideology and the conflicting dominant national-peripheral ideologies of Israeli-Palestinian elites. His in-depth study, of particular interest to scholars of Middle East studies and international communication, offers a new model of analysis for contemporary television news."--BOOK JACKET |
