Abstract

Through the analysis of news published in digital newspapers about the Israel-Hamas conflict, this study aims to demonstrate how journalistic discourse is ideologically marked. Our hypothesis is that such analysis will provide evidence of the lack of impartiality in this medium. In light of the French Discourse Analysis, we examined 127 news articles found through Google search engines, published during the first three days after the initial attacks (in October 2023) and three months later (in January 2024). The results indicate that, initially, there is a predominantly negative tone referencing Hamas and its actions, which persists in the second period despite the escalation of Israel's actions.
