How journalists perceive media influence was explored by comparing results from a survey of Israeli journalists (n = 200) and a survey of the Israeli adult population (n = 1,203). As predicted, journalists demonstrated significant third-person perceptions (TPPs), but these were actually smaller than those of the public. Journalists tended more than the public to perceive media influence as positive. Journalists perceiving a stronger media influence were relatively new journalists and worked for local media, but had some formal education in journalism.

This report was written by the organizers of the workshop "Accounting for Combat-Related Killings," which took place at the Goethe University Frankfurt in July 2014. Scholars from Israel, the United Kingdom, the United States,, Canada, and Germany came together to present and discuss case studies on the discourse practices involved in accounting for combat-related killings in different national and transnational contexts. Intending to reflect on the methodological skills needed to analyze newly available process data, the workshop brought together scholars using different methodological approaches (here mainly ethnomethodology and critical discourse analysis). In regard to the global trend towards increasing numbers of so called permanent, asymmetric, small, and permanent wars, the report turns to concepts, methods, and empirical findings that foster understandings of the difficulties war generates at social, cultural and political levels as well as the manner in which these predicaments are negotiated, denied, or deflected. The report summarizes the workshop by presenting the papers in a specific order, beginning with accounting in combat, followed by tribunals of accounting, and finally the sedimentation of accounting in cultural representations.

Der Bericht fasst die Ergebnisse der Tagung "Accounting for Combat-Related Killings" zusammen, der im Juli 2014 an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main stattgefunden hat. Diskursforscher/innen aus Israel, dem Vereinigten Königreich, den USA, Kanada und Deutschland präsentierten hier Fallstudien zur (umkämpften) Herstellung demokratischer Rechenschaft für Tötungen in Kampfhandlungen. Das Zusammenbringen unterschiedlicher Ansätze (hier v.a. der Ethnomethodologie und der kritischen Diskursanalyse) zielte auf eine methodologische Reflexion im Lichte neu zur Verfügung stehender Diskursdaten. Mit Blick auf die weltweit steigende Zahl militärischer Kampfhandlungen im Rahmen sog. kleiner, permanenter und asymmetrischer Kriege widmet sich dieser Bericht Konzepten, Methoden und empirischen Analysen zur kulturellen Aufarbeitung militärischer Tötungen. Dabei werden die Konferenzbeiträge im Hinblick auf ihre zeitliche Distanz zum diskursiv bearbeiteten Kampfgeschehen geordnet: von der interaktiven Herstellung eines operativen Feldes im Kampf (accounting in combat), über demokratische Verfahren der Aufklärung/Legitimierung (tribunals of accounting), bis hin zu Formen des kulturellen Gedächtnisses (sedimentation of accounting in cultural representations).URN: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs1502239 ; This report was written by the organizers of the workshop "Accounting for Combat-Related Killings," which took place at the Goethe University Frankfurt in July 2014.
