Centre for Media Monitoring report states that pro-Israeli coverage has dominated in UK media, presenting a far-from-balanced narrative and neglecting Palestinian voices.
The report says 76 percent of online articles framed the conflict as an "Israel-Hamas war" and only 24 percent mentioned "Palestine/Palestinian," indicating a lack of context. / Photo: Getty Images
The lengthy study revealed that most British TV channels overwhelmingly promote “Israel's right to defend itself,” overshadowing Palestinian rights by a ratio of five to one. The study also found that TV reporting of Israeli perspectives was referenced almost three times more than Palestinian ones .On language usage, the study showed that media coverage highlighted a concerning trend where emotive language"disproportionately highlighted Israeli suffering while downplaying Palestinian casualties."
Rizwana Hamid, the director of CfMM, said:"As media organisations navigate the complexities of the conflict, it is imperative to uphold principles of fairness, accuracy and inclusivity, ensuring that all voices are heard and all perspectives are represented."
