The Yemen War. US-American Media's Opinion on US Involvement in Yemen

By Nathanael Schabrun

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 5.0, University of Luzern, course: Gewaltsame Konflikte: Ursachen und Erkl?rungsans?tze, language: English, abstract: Since 2015, the US has supported the coalition led by Saudi Arabia in the Yemen war, but is now limiting its support under the Biden administration. Reporting in US Media is scarce, and the conflict is being referred to as "Forgotten War" by Amnesty International. There is little research being done on US media coverage on US involvement in Yemen, which is the reason for this seminar paper. It aims to answer how the opinion of two of the biggest media outlets in the United States on US involvement in Yemen developed. This question is important as media coverage ultimately shapes voter's opinions and therefore the foreign policy of the United States. The opinion of the online news outlets of CNN and Fox News on US involvement in Yemen are analysed, quantified, and discussed.
