On Dávid Kaposi's "Violence and understanding in Gaza: The British broadsheets' coverage of the war"

Abstract

It has not been easy to develop comprehensive understanding of this protracted conflict especially in the backdrop of time to time incidents of war/violence in Gaza. Many authors have approached the conflict with variety of perspectives. Within this context, Professor Dávid Kaposi, who works at the University of East London UK, has published the book: Violence and Understanding in Gaza: The British Broadsheets’ Coverage of the War. Here he has applied both quantitative and qualitative methods for revealing different aspects of ‘Gaza War’ (Israeli-Palestine conflict). He has also comparatively analysed the coverage of mainstream British newspapers/broadsheets of Israel-Palestine conflict dividing them into two main categories: conservatives and left liberals.
