This study examines Taiwanese media coverage of the Israel–Hamas war from October 2023 to March 2024, focusing on TVBS News, PNN, The Reporter, and Coolloud. Drawing on Herman and Chomsky’s propaganda model, Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, and Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach, the article analyzes lexical choices, source attribution, causal framing, and the construction of political subjects. The findings show that the four outlets differ less by fixed media type than by how they organize security narratives, professional neutrality, contextual explanation, humanitarian testimony, and counter-power discourse. TVBS tends to foreground immediate security frames and official sources; PNN relies on attributed neutrality while giving institutional voices greater explanatory authority; The Reporter offers broader historical and humanitarian context but remains shaped by unequal access to direct testimony; Coolloud foregrounds anti-colonial naming, activist sources, and international solidarity. The article argues that power in international news often operates through subtle textual arrangements, including headlines, verb choices, quotation placement, source hierarchy, and the distribution of who may explain violence, responsibility, and suffering. |
