“…Similarly, more than a third of Palestinian-Israelis reported frequently tuning in to Hebrew-speaking broadcast stations (New Wave Research, 2016). Indeed, Palestinian-Israelis habitually consume mainstream Israeli media in addition to the consumption of media outlets in Arabic originating from Israel as well as from different Arab countries (Jamal, 2009). Additionally, though some have pointed to the declining listening and viewership of broadcast media around the world, a significant portion of this behavior by audiences can be explained by changing consumption patterns, which include the consumption of broadcast media through online and digital devices (Nielsen and Sambrook, 2016; Pew Research Center, 2017).…”

This study examines how media representations of Palestinian-Israeli politicians, can help community members realize their capabilities. The study’s database is comprised of 1,207 interviews conducted with Palestinian-Israeli politicians on news and current affairs programs on the three national television channels and the two national radio stations in Israel, for 24 months (2016-2017). We identified and analyzed the differences in the modes of representation between national and local Palestinian-Israeli politicians and between Palestinian-Israeli parliament members in the Joint List and Palestinian-Israeli parliament members in Zionist parties, all through the capabilities prism. In this study, we demonstrated how different types of Palestinian-Israeli politicians may potentially affect the realization of different political functions and capabilities. Analyzing political representations in the media through the theoretical framework of the ‘capabilities approach’ contributes to a more comprehensive insight into the roles the media can play promoting people’s wellbeing and human rights, relative to traditional media theories.

“…This has been addressed by communications scholars in cases where such challenges are quite obvious – such as the cases of Ireland (e.g. Barbrook, 1992; Watson, 2002) and Israel (Jamal, 2007; Schejter, 2007). Since identity challenges are intensified in the specific context of Third World states, popular culture products like television are of even greater political importance there, as Katz and Wedell elaborate in their work.…”

This article examines the intriguing decision of the Israeli government in the aftermath of the 1967 War to embark on a national television project that would be dominated by broadcasts in Arabic. Since actual broadcasts quickly ended up switching to Hebrew, this initial rationale has received little academic attention. Based on primary research, the article suggests that the original decision was driven by the desire of the State to address four identity challenges that it faced at the time: the challenge of delegitimation and hostile propaganda by the Arab world, the challenge of dealing with the Palestinian population in the newly occupied territories, the challenge of dealing with Israel’s Arab citizens, and the challenge of dealing with the Jewish immigrants from the Arab world. I argue that the promise of addressing these multiple challenges made the TV project very attractive, even if for a short time, thus leading to its initiation. The discussion is anchored in the literature from the field of International Relations that explores the concepts of soft power and ontological security and consequently the potential role of popular culture in shaping and managing identity challenges
