- This is a traditional media analysis journalism’s role in social change. It is a critical ethnography, based on more than 40 interviews with Israeli, Palestinians, and international journalists working for mainstream media and covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and with peace activists working at grassroot level in Israel, Palestine, USA, and Italy. The book investigates the role of journalism in shaping narratives and context of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations that took place between 1993 and 2000. Findings show some of the typical shortcomings of journalism, and how professional approaches in journalism tended to suffocate more critical, but powerful grassroots narratives of peace.
