AUC Publishes 38th Issue oF Arab Media & Society on 'Media & Conflict'
Rana Atef
Arab Media & Society, the Scopus-indexed, open-access journal of the Kamal Adham Center for Television and Digital Journalism at the School of Global Affairs and Public Policy (GAPP), the American University in Cairo (AUC), announces the release of its 38th issue on the subject of 'Media & Conflict.'
The Arab world has been shaped for decades by conflicts—whether born of occupation, conquest, or civil strife—whose impact cannot be overstated. Regional and international media play a pivotal role in shaping how these conflicts are perceived, understood, and acted upon by audiences both at home and abroad.
In recent years, the evolving media landscape has reshaped public attitudes, widening the gap between state-controlled narratives and the often graphic, unfiltered images circulating across digital platforms from myriad sources.
This divide is most starkly evident in coverage of the war on Gaza, but also in the limited reporting on conflicts in Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, as well as in the contrasting narratives between the war in Ukraine and those emerging from the Arab region.
'This issue of Arab Media & Society comes at a time when the role of media in shaping narratives around conflict has never been more critical,' said Hussein Amin, professor of Journalism and Mass Communication and director of the Kamal Adham Center for Television and Digital Journalism.
'By bringing together diverse voices from across the Arab world and beyond, we aim to provide a deeper, more nuanced understanding of how wars and crises are reported, perceived, and remembered.'
The articles in this issue explore the complex dynamics of conflict and war through a mediated lens. Contributions from across the region and beyond address the Israeli Palestinian conflict through academic analysis, examine media framing of women, and capture journalists' perspectives.
Other studies investigate coverage of the Syrian crisis both on the ground and in digital media content influencing Syrian refugees in Türkiye.
The issue also analyzes hyperreality and the spread of fake news in the contexts of Ukraine and Palestine, explores social media newsroom integration in local conflict reporting in Oman, and presents a social network analysis of transnational protests opposing the war in Gaza."
This issue showcases a wide range of approaches to studying media in the context of regional conflict, bringing together the work of both Arab and international scholars.
