Between the Screen and Reality: A Gap Between Media Discourse and Lived Experience in Gaza

This study explores the gap between media discourse and lived reality in Gaza in the age of artificial intelligence. Using content analysis and field interviews, the research examines how media narratives differ from everyday human experiences. The findings indicate that media coverage often simplifies complex realities into political or emotional frames. The study also discusses the role of AI in either widening or reducing this gap and proposes an ethical framework for responsible media use of AI.
