Abstract

The mass media have a strong impact on International Relations. Foreign Correspondents are the key pieces of international information. This paper presents the model of peace journalism as a tool to analyze the frames that journalists give in covering a conflict. The case of study is the coverage made by correspondents in the Spanish press to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in 2007-2008. The results show that all journalists analyzed were prone to a peace journalism frame.
