This comprehensive study delves into the intricate quantitative and qualitative analysis of media strategies employed by Al-Jazeera and BBC Arabic in their coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing upon Critical Discourse Analysis, the author conducts a thorough examination of news items, documentaries, and discussion shows from both networks. A wide range of key topics are explored, including political leaders and governments, the public, and the victims of COVID-19. The analysis compares and contrasts the coverage of these topics by the two networks, highlighting their use of exemplification, nominalization, functionalization, naming, and labeling.
Throughout the pandemic, the study reveals a solidarity discourse prevalent in the coverage of COVID-19 by both Al-Jazeera and BBC Arabic. This discourse emphasizes the collective effort required to combat the disease and stresses the importance of adhering to local regulations. The networks consistently convey the gravity of the pandemic, urging individuals to take necessary precautions.
By examining the coverage of COVID-19 from a dialectical perspective, the study aims to unravel the social, cultural, political, and ideological motives behind the production of pandemic media discourse. The book appeals to a diverse audience, including students and researchers in linguistics, media and communications, Middle Eastern studies, and general readers interested in conflict and pandemic response.
