1. INTRODUCTION
This assignment explores the complex interplay between media, journalism, and armed
conflict, focusing on the recent Israeli-Palestinian (Hamas) conflict that erupted in October
2023. It links closely to the module's broader examination of international communication,
highlighting the evolving role of media in shaping public perceptions and understanding
of war. The assignment begins with an analysis of the current conflict, emphasizing the
importance of framing theory in media coverage. It then delves into the role of
international communication, the inequalities in global news flow, and the relevance of
the CNN effect. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how media
influences the narrative of armed conflicts, using the ongoing Israel-Palestine situation as
a case study.
