Gaza Media War

Gaza Media War

(Global Pulse: January 13, 2009) Israel and Hamas are fighting on two fronts in Gaza - a military battle, and a battle for public opinion. People around the world are being confronted with horrifying images of war, as well as all sorts of spin from various sources in the ongoing Gaza tragedy. As the combatants attempt to control the message, the media sphere is also crowded with self-promotion by secondary players.
