  The Suppression of Guilt. The Israeli Media and the Reoccupation of the West Bank

  Share |

  6/10/05: Israel's recent withdrawal from the Gaza Strip happened faster and more smoothly than had been feared by many. The international media coverage was huge. But how was it portrayed in the Israeli media and did this influence the views of the Israelis themselves? This unique book provides a fascinating insight into the role played by the Israeli media in creating a society that has withdrawn into an unprecedented sense of isolation and victimisation.

  Israeli scholar Daniel Dor shows how, despite media outlets offering varying perspectives on Operation Defensive Shield, they share a collective emotional attitude in relation to the global discourse of blame against Israel: the projection of a desperate almost obsessive urge to fend off guilt.

   

  The Suppression of Guilt (£12.99 Pluto Press, 2005) explores how the Israeli media work within the context of the global media and world opinion and what it means for the future of the country.

  A former journalist, Daniel Dor teaches at the Department of Communication,Tel Aviv University, and is a graduate of Stanford University. A revised translation of an earlier book, Intifada Hits the Headlines, was published by Indiana University Press in 2003. He has worked as a senior news editor in two of Israel¹s leading newspapers.

  More reporters are currently imprisoned in Turkey than in any other country in the world. Only a matter of weeks ago lawyers failed to persuade a Turkish court to release a 76-year-old journalist from a Turkish internet news station.
  World Press Freedom Day on Friday May 3, 2013 is being marked in Britain by a rally to highlight the dangers facing journalists in Turkey and in this podcast, Nicholas Jones speaks to Barry White, Organiser at the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom, and Sam Bamford, the TUC's policy officer for Eastern Europe and Africa about the importance of a campaign to highlight international press freedom. 
  The World Press Freedom Day rally is being staged by the National Union of Journalists at the NUJ head office, Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1 on Thursday May 2, 6pm-8pm.

  MEDIA MANIFESTO
  
  DATELINE: 26/3/10
  The media’s job is to inform and entertain us but we rely on them too to tell us what our rulers and representatives are up to. In the run-up to the Iraq war the government used spin and disinformation in the media to create panic and mislead people. The truth is coming out now, but we need stronger, more independent media to be able to scrutinise governments and make informed choices.
