Academic Study Finds Algerian Official Media Shifted from News Reporting to Political Propaganda on Moroccan Issues
An academic study concluded that the official Algerian media transformed their coverage of Moroccan issues from simply reporting news to using it as a tool for political propaganda. They deliberately portrayed Morocco negatively and adopted a tone reflecting the authorities' positions, while excluding opposition narratives. It was found that the media discourse consistently depicts Morocco as either a "deviant" or "collaborator," whereas Algeria is portrayed as committed to principles. This reinforces a positive self-image and a negative image of the other, using language for political guidance and to craft a specific perception of regional issues.
