Assignment 2

Semester 2 2024

1. Introduction

The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas that escalated in 2023 has drawn
significant attention worldwide. This conflict, deeply rooted in a history of tension, has
sparked widespread debate and concern, not only in the region but also on a global
scale. The assignment examines the role of international communication in war and
armed conflicts, particularly focusing on how the media, both traditional and digital,
influence public perception and political decisions during such crises. This topic is
closely linked to the module as it delves into the complexities of international information
flows and the impact of media on global events. Understanding these dynamics is
crucial for comprehending the broader implications of communication in conflicts and
the power of media in shaping narratives.

2. The Role of International Communication in War and Armed Conflicts

International communication plays a pivotal role in wars and armed conflicts by
influencing how events are reported and perceived globally. During conflicts, media
outlets become crucial channels through which information is disseminated, often
shaping public opinion and influencing political decisions. The way news is framed, the
language used, and the selection of images can significantly impact the portrayal of the
conflict, potentially swaying international support or condemnation. Moreover, in today's
digital age, social media platforms have become essential tools for spreading
information (and misinformation), enabling real-time updates and allowing individuals
from all over the world to participate in the discourse. This interconnectedness
highlights the importance of international communication in both escalating and de-
escalating conflicts, as the media has the power to amplify certain narratives while
silencing others.
