Abstract

This study works on examining how dramatization stereotypes destroy the image of the Palestinian women in Yedioth Ahronoth‘s (Ynet) News Articles Headlines. Language has the ability to construct scenery codes that manipulate the perceptual environment of the recipients and is intensified as media dramatizes coverage. Drama has the power to depict subjects, strengthen ready-made interpretations, foster and amplify prejudices by anticipation and releasing anticipation.

Critical discourse analysis of 33 news articles headlines of the English-language Ynet news articles headlines on Facebook published from January 2016 to December 2016 showed that the newspaper dramatized the titles, tackling Palestinian females’ stories and negatively depicted them through. This unfolds into creating new realities and identities through amplification, simplification, contradiction, emotional amplification, and the change of form. Analysis also showed that dramatization possesses the authority to classify inferred through dramatic evidences that leads to a change in the shape of reality and negotiating it.
