It was reported widely in many countries and was marked by a two-day national holiday with memorial services, military displays, and concerts. This paper uses these events as a case study to analyse the cultural shaping of foreign conflict television coverage and compares the foreign news reports of Vremya – the flagship evening news provider of Russia’s Channel 1 – with that of two other European broadcasters from France and the UK, which are obliged to adhere to strict guidelines. The case study seeks to demonstrate how the Russian state-aligned news provider can promote its home country, whilst negotiating the complex combination of the influential Russian-speaking diaspora in Israel and Russia’s multi-layered cross-cultural connections. The paper also discusses how varying constraints imposed by broadcasting regulations can result in differing portrayals of the same event. date: 2014-04 official_url: http://ojs.lib.ucl.ac.uk/index.php/Slovo/article/view/302 vfaculties: VSSEES oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual full_text_status: public publication: Slovo volume: 26 number: 1 pagerange: 2-17 issn: 0954-6839 citation: Heywood, E; (2014) Comparative media: Vremya’s manipulation of foreign conflict reporting in Russia in the context of Western news providers.
