“…On the one hand, revealing information may lead to damaged reputation, delegitimization, and being ostracized, or concrete punishment such as dismissal, imprisonment, and even physical violence (Horton, ; Nets‐Zehngut, ; Papadakis, Peristianis, & Welz, ). In the case of gatekeepers such as journalists—they may not get any more information from their governmental sources (Elbaz & Bar‐Tal, ). This motivation is underlined by fear.…”

“…In a similar study (Elbaz & Bar‐Tal, ), use of self‐censorship during a military encounter (i.e., the Second Lebanon War in 2006) was investigated on the basis of the finding that during the war, the Israeli media mainly presented the official narrative of the government and the army (Elbaz & Bar‐Tal, in press). The findings based on 30 in‐depth interviews with prominent Israeli journalists and public leaders, ministers, and parliament members showed that self‐censorship was normatively widely practiced as part of the requirements of a state of war.…”

Self‐censorship of information, defined as an act of intentionally and voluntarily withholding information from others in the absence of formal obstacles, serves as an obstacle to the proper functioning of a democratic society, because it prevents free access to information, freedom of expression, and the flow of information. It is of key importance in societies, as it blocks information that may shed new light on various societal issues. Nevertheless, it is recognized that in certain cases self‐censorship is necessary. The present article provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for self‐censorship and examines it from various angles with empirical examples. It describes its nature and psychological foundations, the motivations that underlie it, the conditions that facilitate its practice, its societal and individual consequences, and, finally, its measurement challenges.

Self‐censorship, defined as an “act of intentionally and voluntarily withholding information from others in the absence of formal obstacles” often serves as a barrier to resolving intractable conflicts. Specifically, in order to protect the group, and in absence of objective constraints such as institutionalized censorship, individuals practice self‐censorship and support its practice by other society members. This prevents free flow and transparency of information, within a society, regarding the conflict and the adversary. In an attempt to investigate the factors that contribute to the functioning of self‐censorship as a sociopsychological barrier to conflict resolution, a longitudinal study was conducted among a large sample of Jews in Israel. The survey was administered in three waves: a few months before, during, and a few months after Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense in the Gaza Strip. The findings showed that armed confrontation can increase support for self‐censorship. In addition, the findings revealed that personal characteristics (e.g., authoritarianism, ethnocentrism, siege mentality) predicted support for self‐censorship, which, in turn, mediated the effect of personal characteristics on support for negotiations and for providing humanitarian aid. The theoretical as well as the applied implications of the findings are discussed.

“…En primer lugar, el discurso mediático se relaciona con un proceso de influencia contextodiscurso, en el que la prominencia de creencias del edc en el discurso mediático es dependiente del contexto de la violencia. Así, las etapas de escalamiento de la violencia propician un discurso mediático que reproduce el edc casi en su totalidad (Baden & Tenenboim-Weinblatt, 2018;Elbaz & Bar-Tal, 2016;Khan, 1998;Mandelzis, 2007;Oren, 2016;Tenenboim-Weinblatt, Hanitzsch, & Nagar, 2016). Por el contrario, etapas de desescalada del conflicto propician un cambio en el edc reproducido por los medios, lo que se ve reflejado en la gradual pérdida de prominencia de las creencias sociales que sostienen el conflicto (Benziman, 2014a;2014b;Lee, 2010;Oren, 2009;Tenenboim-Weinblatt et al, 2016).…”

“…En segundo lugar, el discurso mediático se asocia con un proceso de influencia discurso-contexto, en el que la intratabilidad del conflicto es dependiente de la difusión del edc a través del discurso mediático, ya que este reduce la disponibilidad de información y encuadres alternativos (Elbaz & Bar-Tal, 2016;Entman, 1993;Valkenburg, Peter, & Walther, 2016). Así, si bien el efecto de la exposición al discurso mediático depende de las características individuales de los usuarios (Thiel & Kempf, 2014;Valkenburg et al, 2016), la reproducción de creencias del edc tiene la capacidad de orientar a los miembros de la sociedad hacia la continuación de la violencia (Cohrs, Uluğ, Stahel, & Kışlıoğlu, 2015;Elcheroth et al, 2011;Kellow & Steeves, 1998).…”

Debido a su duración e intensidad, el conflicto armado colombiano puede ser analizado como un conflicto intratable. La intratabilidad involucra el desarrollo del ethos del conflicto (EDC), un conjunto de creencias sociales compartidas por la mayoría de los miembros de la sociedad, de manera que es usualmente exhibido en el discurso mediático. Este estudio describe, a través de la lexicometría unidimensional y multidimensional, cómo el edc permeó el discurso de cuatro de los principales medios de comunicación en Colombia (El Tiempo, El Espectador, Noticias Caracol, Noticias RCN); específicamente, cómo el EDC caracterizó el encuadre del perdón y la reconciliación durante el proceso de paz entre el Gobierno colombiano y las FARC-EP (2012-2017). Los resultados sugieren que el edc en Colombia se transformó con los diálogos de paz, probablemente promoviendo una orientación hacia la paz. Sin embargo, simultáneamente, algunas de las creencias del edc que contribuyen a la intratabilidad también fueron presentadas en el discurso mediático.
