الرأي العام العالمي و القضية الفلسطينية : دراسة تحليلية للقيم الإخبارية المتضمنة في النشرة الإخبارية للقناة الفرنسية TFJ

Abstract EN

This study analyzes the content of TFJ News Broadcast on the Palestinian Cause.

The study tries to answer a pair of questions : 1.

What are the political, military, social and security values embedded in TFJ News Broadcast ? How does these embedded values match up with the nature and methods of distorting the Francophone public opinion ? I used the “Content Analysis” method so as to pinpoint and locate the “desired values” and the “undesired values” within the TFJ news content.

The conclusions of this study are as follows : 2.

The most important point in my conclusions is the fact that my research assumptions proved to be correct, because I discovered that the message forwarded by TFJ through its News Broadcast is alien to objectivity and credibility, especially when it regards the Palestinian cause.

I also discovered that even the images accompanying the news reports do not reflect either the reality of Palestinian society, or the nature of the oppression it suffers from.

3.

The study concludes that 44.1 % of the analyzed 100 values were political values.

This is testimony that TFJ has an established political line it believes in, and that is supporting Israel’s political stance and defending its interests.

In the end, and in order to expand the study of this subject, I suggested a field study on a representative sample of TFJ’s audience to enable the understanding of the influence exerted by its media message, thus the political line delivered by TFJ.
