The Syrian conflict has received significant media attention, with the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal analyzing how they framed six key events from March 2011 to April 2018. Gabriel Huland argues that US foreign policy dominates the frames, underrepresenting local voices and other players.

The Syrian conflict has garnered significant media attention throughout this century, with coverage oscillating between periods of intense saturation and relative silence. However, it is undeniable that the uprising and civil war in Syria have received a substantial amount of media coverage.
The Syrian Conflict in the News: An Analysis of Media Coverage explores the coverage of the Syrian conflict in three prominent American newspapers: the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. The study focuses on how these newspapers framed six key events in Syria from March 2011 to April 2018, including the Ghouta chemical attack, the Russian intervention in Syria, and the US-led airstrikes. Gabriel Huland, the author of the book, argues that US foreign policy dominates the frames of the conflict, suggesting that mainstream newspapers are excessively indexed to elite narratives.
In the United States, the Syrian crisis sparked a vigorous debate about the appropriate level of US involvement in the civil war and how the country should navigate the growing influence of Russia and Iran in the Middle East. The overreliance on elite narratives resulted in the underrepresentation of local voices and other stakeholders who possessed valuable insights and potential solutions to the conflict. By analyzing the frames of the Syrian uprising and civil war in these mainstream newspapers and examining the relationship between media and international conflicts, The Syrian Conflict in the News provides valuable insights into crucial aspects of the crisis currently prevalent in US journalism.
