Abstract

Despite the extensive and discontinuous nature of the media coverage on wars involving Iraq since 1990 to present, it is possible to concieve this coverage like an articulated narration based on “episodes” that centered events. By Ricoeur’s and Dewey’s theses, the paper studied the “Desert Fox” operation (1998), wich collects discursives fr ames of the Gulf War as well as anticipated elements of the media coverage of American invasion of 2003. We study how the narratives points are created fr om the information fl ows and how through this news events, the French television media judges -and produce meaning- about the involve participants, their relationships and the general meaning of the conflict.
