/**(**MPCRE**) *is calling for abstract and papersubmissions. The

Media has become a fully open window to all the globe since it has 
become a means to constitute the public judgment directing concerns 
towards the essential issues of Palestinian people. Media has the 
authority to turn an issue into public opinion to form a well-built 
political awareness of the Palestinian cause. In this respect, the

capabilities with connected contents that have strategic influence on 
Palestinian cause in the present and future. Further, the media coverage 
is diversified at the local, regional, and international measures 
through multimedia considering varied contemporary changes. This 
diversity contributes to create convictions presenting contradictory 
narratives, either sympathetic to the Palestinian people or biased 
towards the Israeli narrative. The conference will deeply explore the 
following general question: *What is the reality and expectation of 
media coverage of Palestinian issue and its prospects?*The conference 
investigates the effectiveness of media capabilities media on the
