Email this article The Al-Ma’madani Hospital Attack in the Online News Coverage of Aljazeera and BBC News
Abstract
This article examines the bombing of Al-Ma'madani Hospital in Gaza by analyzing exclusion and inclusion strategies in the news coverage of Aljazeera Arabic and BBC News Arabic. The study aims to uncover how these strategies are employed and the ideological motivations behind their use. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research applies Theo van Leeuwen’s critical discourse analysis framework to online news reports published on October 18, 2023: Aljazeera Arabic (Akhbar Filisthin) and BBC News Arabic (Baramijuna). Data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques and validated through prolonged engagement and expert discussion. The findings reveal contrasting representational strategies: Aljazeera Arabic tends to employ inclusion by explicitly mentioning actors involved, aligning with pro-Palestinian perspectives. In contrast, BBC News Arabic more frequently uses exclusion, omitting actors and aligning with a more neutral or pro-Israeli stance. These strategies reflect each outlet's ideological positioning and influence audience perception of the conflict. The study highlights the role of discourse in shaping narratives and the importance of critical media analysis in conflict reporting.
