Abstract

The wars in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, the crisis in Bahrain and the confrontation with Iran have created an environment of sectarianism in the region. This hostility has challenged the media to deal with the issue of citizenship (Al-Muwatana) in a responsible manner. This study applies Social Responsibility Theory to shed light on the role of print media in shaping the concept of citizenship in the Arabian Gulf, with reference to states that enjoy full or partial freedom, especially Kuwait and Oman. The results of this study show that Omani newspapers deal with citizenship positively when reporting news from Syria, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen and Iran despite press censorship, while Kuwaiti print media, with its greater freedom of the press, is more negative on the topic of citizenship.

仇恨与宽容:媒体对科威特和阿曼公民观念的影响
叙利亚、伊拉克和也门的战争、巴林的危机以及与伊朗的对抗在该地区造成了宗派主义的环境。这种敌意挑战了媒体以负责任的方式处理公民身份问题(穆瓦塔纳)。本研究应用社会责任理论,以享有完全或部分自由的国家,特别是科威特和阿曼为参照,阐明印刷媒体在塑造阿拉伯湾公民概念方面的作用。这项研究的结果表明,阿曼报纸在报道来自叙利亚、巴林、伊拉克、也门和伊朗的新闻时,尽管有新闻审查制度,但对公民身份的态度是积极的,而科威特印刷媒体拥有更大的新闻自由,在公民身份问题上更为消极。
