Alimi, E., Discursive Contention: Palestinian Media Discourse and the Inception of the First Intifada, The Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics (2007), 12(4), 71-91.
The framing process of political opportunity to act contentiously is examined as a unique type of interaction between news media and social movements, where media institutions act as a forum for reflecting and constructing oppositional views to unfolding political processes. The case of Palestinian contention during the run-up to the “first” Intifada is employed to illustrate the role of “mobilized print media” in framing of opportunity to act contentiously.

Baum, M. A., & Groeling, T., Shot by the Messenger: Partisan Cues and Public Opinion Regarding National Security and War. Political Behavior (2009), Vol. 31, No. 2, pp. 157-186.
This research has shown that messages of intra-party harmony tend to be ignored by the news media, while internal disputes, especially within the governing party, generally receive prominent coverage. The autors examine how messages of party conflict and cooperation affect public opinion regarding national security, as well as whether and how the reputations of media outlets matter. We develop a typology of partisan messages in the news, determining their likely effects based on the char-acteristics of the speaker, listener, news outlet, and message content.
