The Fourth Estate in the Service of Power: Media Coverage of the Middle East.
- Authors
Kfoury, Assaf
- Abstract
The article discusses various instances when the power of media was used to alter perception by providing incomplete, inaccurate or misleading information. The author focuses on the journal "The New York Times," and provides data that were either contradictory to, or left out, in some of the newspaper articles about the attack on Iraq and the war between Israel and Palestine. The author also believes that the Internet and data mining tools made information more accessible, rendering mainstream media less able to manipulate information dissemination.
