The Impact of Media and Perception on Conflicting Societies

Media portrayal and perception of conflicts can significantly influence how people interpret and respond to events. The limited exposure to different perspectives and the framing of events as military operations can shape the way individuals from conflicting societies perceive and understand the situation. This limited exposure to diverse news sources can lead to a skewed understanding of the reality of the conflict. Moreover, in a non-free society, people may feel intimidated to express their true opinions, affecting the accuracy of survey results and public perception.
