Producing the wildlife blockbuster -- 10. Afterword.This book explores the history of wildlife television in post-war Britain. It revolves around the role of David Attenborough, whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has shaped British wildlife television. The book discusses aspects of Attenborough's professional biography and also explores elements of the institutional history of the BBC-from the early 1960s, when it was at its most powerful, to the 2000s, when its future is uncertain. It focuses primarily on the wildlife 'making-of' documentary genre, which is used to trace how television progressively became a participant in the production of knowledge about nature. With the inclusion of analysis of television programmes, first-hand accounts, BBC archival material and, most notably, interviews with David Attenborough, this volume follows the development of the professional culture of wildlife broadcasting as it has been portrayed in public. It will be of interest to wildlife television amateurs, historians of British television and students in science communication. .Palgrave Studies in Science and Popular Culture,2731-4367CommunicationCultureStudy and teachingDocumentary filmsEthnologyGreat BritainCultureMotion picture industryTelevision broadcastingAnimal migrationMedia and CommunicationCultural StudiesDocumentary StudiesBritish CultureFilm and Television IndustryAnimal MigrationCommunication.CultureStudy and teaching.Documentary films.EthnologyCulture.Motion picture industry.Television broadcasting.Animal migration.Media and Communication.Cultural Studies.Documentary Studies.British Culture.Film and Television Industry.Animal Migration.301791.45094109045Gouyon Jean-Baptisteauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1226554MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910485000603321BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough2847951UNINA04435nam 22005055 450 991063538590332120251009103243.09783031142796303114279910.1007/978-3-031-14279-6(CKB)5850000000307121(DE-He213)978-3-031-14279-6(EXLCZ)99585000000030712120221214d2022 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAl-Jazeera’s “Double Standards” in the Arab Spring A Peace Journalism Analysis (2011-2021) /by Zainab Abdul-Nabi1st ed. 2022.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2022.1 online resource (XXIV, 330 p.) 9783031142789 3031142780 Chapter 1.

Conclusion./.“Zainab Abdul-Nabi presents a novel and critical perspective on some of the most significant global news coverage of recent times, by the Al Jazeera English and Arabic channels of the 'Arab Spring' and the Syrian civil war. The rich interweave of data from multiple sources, with fresh theoretical perspectives including creative use of the Peace Journalism model, makes this an important original contribution to the scholarship of both journalism and the events on which it reports.” —Annabel McGoldrick, PhD, Dip. Psych., MA Psychotherapy, MBACP (Accred), Accredited EMDR Consultant (UK & Australia). This book finds that Al-Jazeera’s coverage of Bahrain and Syria has conformed with Qatar’s foreign policy, throughout the last decade (2011-2021). Al-Jazeera Arabic adopted Qatar’s “double standards” policy in both countries in the beginning of the Arab Spring, framing Bahrain’s protests as a “sectarian movement,” while depicting the Syrian armed conflict as a legitimate “revolution” (2011-2013). The book observes that when ties between Qatar and Bahrain worsened during the 2017 Gulf crisis, Al-Jazeera Arabic has shifted its coverage from being “pro-Bahraini regime” to “pro-protesters,” focusing on violations and giving voice to activists (2014-2021). The book concludes that the lack of “Peace Journalism” framing in Al-Jazeera’s coverage of Bahrain’s uprising and Syria’s chemical weapons attacks has represented “claims” as “facts,” and justified military action against Syria. It also reveals distinctive differences between Al-Jazeera Arabic and English, with the former lacking “objective reporting standards,” and using more sectarian language than the latter.
