Journalism department hosts event on Palestine media coverage

The Journalism department hosted a special event on Wednesday, 30 April as part of Research Week on media narratives in relation to the war in Gaza.

Dr Mike Berry (Cardiff University), co-author of Bad News From Israel (2004) and More Bad News From Israel (2011), discussed the pioneering work of the Glasgow Media Group, which examined how bias in news coverage leaves audiences confused about the nature of the conflict and the motives of actors. 

This was followed by a short presentation by UL Journalism staff Dr Fergal Quinn and Dr Henry Silke on new research being carried out by them focusing on media coverage of the targeted killings of journalists in the warzone.
