| Summary: | Al-Jazeera has given its estimated 35 to 45 million viewers within the
Muslim world, daily news feed that stands up to its network slogan "The
Opinion and the Other Opinion". The network has been the important source
and for the first time, represents not only the voice of Arab region, but also
the voice of Islamic world into the international news agenda. Therefore,
it is vital to understand the discourse presented in the news to understand
its meaning and direction. This study analyzes the news clips of Al-Jazeera
English coverage of the war in Gaza which started on December 27, 2008
and ended on January 21, 2009. Analysis of the clips has been done using
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which assumes language and social
process are deeply implicated with one another Findings identified
(5) distinctive discourses from the selected news clips. Among themes are
"Israels are attacking Palestinian, not only Hamas", and "The Zionists
keeps lying"; which interlinked as it highlighted a continuous suppression
towards Palestinian by Israeli. For Al-Jazeera, this can be regarded as
counter discourse to the western media reporting on the conflict. |
