Title: In the eye of the occupier: news coverage of Iraq war ‘terrorism'
Authors: Ismail, Amani
Mishra, Smeeta
Issue Date: 3-May-2009
Abstract: This paper investigates how a mainstream American newspaper (The New York Times) and an Indian counterpart (The Times of India) construct political violence within the American occupation of Iraq, and how they reconcile notions of democracy and occupation. For both newspapers, Saddam Hussein’s execution is the reference point to guide news selection. Findings indicate some differences in the two papers’ coverage, partly explained by the countries’ military involvement in the conflict and their history with Iraq.
