Abstract
This study provides a quantitative analysis of international news coverage of recent Middle East events in The New York Times. By examining the frequency, tone, and thematic focus of articles published over the past year, the research aims to identify prevailing narratives and editorial priorities related to the region. The analysis reveals patterns in coverage, highlighting the emphasis placed on conflict, diplomacy, and political developments, while also evaluating the framing and language used to depict Middle Eastern affairs. Additionally, the study explores potential correlations between coverage scope and regional geopolitics, offering insights into how The New York Times shapes American perceptions of Middle East events. The findings contribute to a better understanding of media representation and underscore the importance of comprehensive and balanced reporting in international journalism.
