MWC Editor’s Collections: Media, Israel and Conflict

MWC Journal is pleased to present featured Editor’s Choice articles, specially selected to highlight the journal’s most noteworthy manuscripts.

In light of the evolving situation in Gaza and intense debates surrounding its media coverage, Media, War and Conflict present a virtual special issue of research previously published in the journal that bears upon events in 2014. These articles are a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners and citizens asking whether we have been here before and how media could play a more productive role in crises and conflicts.
