Examples
Cohen, A. A., & Wolfsfeld, G., Framing the Intifada : people and media, Ablex Pub. Corp (1993), Norwood, N.J.
The intifada research project began in October 1988, when researchers at the Smart Family Foundation Communications Institute of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem launched a series of studies on the topic. Several non-Institute members who were studying relevant aspects of the intifada were also asked to join the project or submit their work to this volume. This volume is not concerned with why the intifada phenomenon began or how it developed, or with possible scenarios for the future. Rather, this book is about communication and the intifada: It is about what people have been saying, thinking, and writing about the conflict and about the messages being produced by the mass media.
