الملخص EN

The research aims to identify the new reality of Iraq’s international relations through the news coverage carried out by Al-Iraqiya TV since the size and nature of the coverage indicate the extent to which these relations have reached.

The research problem is summarized by the main question (what is the size and nature of news coverage of Iraq’s international relations in the Iraqi News Channel?).

This research is considered a descriptive research, as the researchers used the survey method and the content analysis method through a partial confinement of the research community consisting of the main news broadcast for one programmatic period.

The content analysis form that was subjected to evaluation was designed by experts and arbitrators to show its compatibility with the research topic and the categories it contains.

The research reached to several results, most notably: seeking of Iraq to build economic and investment relations with the countries of the world and to bring in major companies to rebuild its destroyed cities and advance its economic reality; building, training and arming its army and continuing to fight terrorism in Iraq, the region and the world, and confronting ISIS; adopting a foreign policy that respects sovereignty; Iraq's denial to be a platform for war against neighboring countries; highlighting the government's endeavor to be a meeting point and dialogue for all countries and a representative of peace for the peoples of the world; highlighting the role of the three presidencies as active figures in the news by covering official meetings and meetings with presidents, kings and representatives of other countries; transmitting of news without a source, which highlights the poor performance of the news room in the Channel and its failure to verify the news sources when receiving government news about Iraq’s international relations.

On the other hand, the coverage showed the channel’s potential by relying on its own sources in a number of news, which indicates the channel’s ability to rely on itself in covering news of Iraq's international relations inside and outside Iraq.

The research, moreover, showed another result of investigating: demonstrating the possibility of the technical and technological channel by hosting guests via satellite and preparing various television reports to enrich the international Iraqi event with important details and technical materials photographed from the event site.
