Abstract
The Syrian conflict has been one of the main issues of the current decade and was widely covered by the international media. Our research aims to explore how the international press portrayed the Syrian conflict from the lens of 'peace' and 'war' journalism. Four newspapers of different countries which were directly involved in the issue were selected. Editorial pages of The New York Times of America, The Moscow Times of Russia, Tehran Times of Iran, and Khaleej Times of Arab States were chosen as a unit of analysis for the study. A sample of 918 stories was selected for examination. We used the content analysis methodology and selected the time period from March 15, 20ll to March 15, 2016. Our findings show that the Syrian issue is dominantly framed as war-oriented by the international media as compared to peace-journalism. Among war-indicators, a dichotomy is the most used approach, whereas in peace-indicators solution-oriented approach is the most repeated one.
