Abstract
Four and one half months into the intifadeh, the uprising in Israel and the occupied territories, Nightline presented a five‐part series which attempted to provide a context for the narratives surrounding and fueling the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. This paper analyzes how Nightline's structural choices privileged a particular reading of the conflict and belied their overt effort to let the participants tell their own story. Koppel took local narratives which gave shape to cross‐cultural conflict and forced a rereading of the events through his authoritative voice, interview interventions, and editing.
