      abstract = {This book finds that Al-Jazeeras coverage of Bahrain and  Syria has conformed with Qatars foreign policy, throughout  the last decade (2011-2021). Al-Jazeera Arabic adopted  Qatars "double standards" Bpolicy in both countries in the  beginning of the Arab Spring, framing Bahrains 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-Jazeeras coverage of  Bahrains uprising and Syrias 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.
