Abstract

The research aims to identify the new reality of Iraq’s international relations through the news
coverage carried out by Al-Iraqiya TV since the size and nature of the coverage indicate the extent
to which these relations have reached. The research problem is summarized by the main question
(what is the size and nature of news coverage of Iraq’s international relations in the Iraqi News
Channel?).
This research is considered a descriptive research, as the researchers used the survey method and the
content analysis method through a partial confinement of the research community consisting of the
main news broadcast for one programmatic period. The content analysis form that was subjected to
evaluation was designed by experts and arbitrators to show its compatibility with the research topic
and the categories it contains. The research reached to several results, most notably: seeking of Iraq
to build economic and investment relations with the countries of the world and to bring in major
companies to rebuild its destroyed cities and advance its economic reality; building, training and
arming its army and continuing to fight terrorism in Iraq, the region and the world, and confronting
ISIS; adopting a foreign policy that respects sovereignty; Iraq's denial to be a platform for war
against neighboring countries; highlighting the government's endeavor to be a meeting point and
dialogue for all countries and a representative of peace for the peoples of the world; highlighting the
role of the three presidencies as active figures in the news by covering official meetings and meetings
with presidents, kings and representatives of other countries; transmitting of news without a source,
which highlights the poor performance of the news room in the Channel and its failure to verify the
news sources when receiving government news about Iraq’s international relations.
On the other hand, the coverage showed the channel’s potential by relying on its own sources in
a number of news, which indicates the channel’s ability to rely on itself in covering news of Iraq's
international relations inside and outside Iraq.
The research, moreover, showed another result of investigating: demonstrating the possibility of the
technical and technological channel by hosting guests via satellite and preparing various television
reports to enrich the international Iraqi event with important details and technical materials
photographed from the event site.
