“…Al-Malki et al, 2012;Dastgeer and Gade, 2016), or the coverage of terrorism (see, e.g. Abdullah and Elareshi, 2015;Assad and Aldanani, 2017), these studies have been criticized as they relied on statistical analysis and focused on the history of Arab broadcasting and the political effect on their content (Alfahad, 2013;Ayish and Breslow, 2014;Sakr, 2007a;Sreberny, 2000). For example, Ayish and Breslow (2014) suggest that scholars have to employ interdisciplinary research, in which they integrate different concepts from diverse disciplines such as sociology, political science and psychology, to acquire a better understanding of the Arab media.…”

This study examines the accountability of assessments in news interview settings on two Arabic networks. It employs a conversation analytic approach, in addition to quantitative analysis to identify the most adopted practices that show participants’ orientation to the accountability of assessments. The data consists of 28 hours of recorded interviews on the Arab television news networks, Aljazeera Al-Arabiya channels. The findings show that interviewers and interviewees adopt different strategies to avoid the accountability of their displayed assessments. Interviewers attribute their assessments either to third parties or to the upshot of interviewees’ answers. Similarly, interviewees introduce accounts before and following their proffered assessments to provide epistemic support to these assessments. Furthermore, interviewers introduce follow-up questions to scrutinize interviewees’ assessments and accounts or seek interviewees’ reaffirmation of these assessments to highlight their accountability.
