  "A timely reminder that if we are serious about wanting to use our 
work to enact social change, we should examine discourses that encourage 
us to imagine a better future. Media encounters in Israel/Palestine 
serve as models for such inspiring research, enabling us to envision the 
possibility of peace." - Zohar Kampf, associate professor of language 
and communication at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem

The horrific events of October 7 and the devastating war in Gaza have 
brought Israel/Palestine to the headlines once again. We have seen this 
all play out before: another ambitious peace plan, which secured a 
ceasefire, is imagined as the dawn of a new era of peace in the Middle 
East. But is it? Critiquing traditional state-centered approaches to 
peace, which usually highlight the work of diplomats and politicians, 
and which historically failed miserably in Israel/Palestine,/Media 
Making as Peacemaking /shifts our attention to the experiences of 
ordinary people. Investigating the idea of media encounters, this book 
shows how the collaboration of Palestinian and Jewish media 
practitioners and the popular texts they create together in television 
dramas, digital activism and mainstream journalism offer a new and 
exciting way to think about peace—a peace which does not maintain a 
repressive status quo, but seeks to deliver equality and justice to all 
people, Palestinians and Jews, living between the Jordan River and the 
Mediterranean Sea.

*Yuval Katz* is a lecturer in the Department of Communication and Media 
at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom.
