MEDIA APPROACHING OF ARAB SATELLITE NEWS CHANNELS "CASE STUDY ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF SAUDI JOURNALIST JAMAL KHASHOGGI"

Abstract

The case of the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi on October 3, 2018, following the entry of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, aroused the attention of the international and Arab public opinion. The Arab media differed among themselves in dealing with the event. This study is concerned with the media treatments of Arab news channels for the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi Satellite TV. There was a great difference in the framework of dealing with the issue of the Saudi journalist among the Arab satellite news channels, by analyzing the news processing frameworks in the Arab satellite news channels. The researcher chose to select the following Arabic satellite news channels (Al-Arabia Saudi channel - Al-Jazeera Qatari channel - Nile News Egyptian channel) to conduct the study. Finally, the analysis concluded that the absolute objectivity of satellite news channels does not exist while the news is influenced by political affiliation and ownership of the channel according to the policy of the state to which the channel belongs. The channel also varies and the news treatment of the events varies according to the nature of the event itself.
