Description
Book SynopsisExamination of media coverage of the current conflict in the Middle East
Trade Review'This superb study ... is extensive in scope, and scrupulously fair. It will be a landmark' -- Edward S. Herman, co-author (with Noam Chomsky) of Manufacturing Consent
'Coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is often dangerously superficial. Bad News from Israel is a strong contribution to scholarship and public debate' -- John D.H. Downing, Director, Global Media Research Center, Southern Illinois University
'Just about everything that we know about Israel/Palestine comes to us from our television screens. Bad News from Israel reveals remarkable levels of ignorance about what and why things are as they are' -- Professor Frank Webster, City University, London
'A remarkable book' -- Professor Lucrecia Escudero Chauvel, Université de Lille III and Paris VIII
