Haimoni, Massa ; Maarouf, Nader ; Awadi, Jessica ; Abdelfadi, Malaz ; Sahili, Salma Al, Framing the Lebanese Protests by MTV Lebanon and OTV between January 2020 and June 2020, KIU Interdisciplinary Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences, Vol. 1, no. 3, 2020, pp. 73-89

This open access article by academics at the American University in Dubai studies coverage of the 2019-20 protests and confirms that the ideological slant of the two TV stations (the pro-government OTV and the anti-government MTV) influenced their depiction of the protest movement. It begins by summarizing the causes and nature of the movement and comments on Lebanese people's often unfavourable attitudes to international media coverage of the demonstrations.
