The Coverage of the Egyptian, Ethiopian and Sudanese Online Newspapers in Relation to The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam \GERD\ with Regard to Their National Interest
2023
Overview
This research examines how Egyptian, Ethiopian, and Sudanese online newspapers covered the issue of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), focusing on how national interests were reflected in their media discourse. The study underscores the Nile's central importance as a vital resource for all three countries: Egypt depends on it for more than 95% of its fresh water; Ethiopia views the dam as a symbol of sovereignty and economic development; and Sudan perceives it as both an agricultural opportunity and a potential risk. Using a comparative analytical method, the authors analyzed newspaper content between 2018 and 2019, with attention to the language and framing of coverage. Findings revealed that Egyptian newspapers emphasized water security threats and advocated diplomatic and negotiated solutions, while Ethiopian newspapers highlighted themes of development and sovereign rights over natural resources. Sudanese coverage, however, displayed fluctuation-sometimes aligning with Egypt's concerns over water shortages, and at other times stressing the economic benefits Sudan could reap from the dam. The study concludes that the media coverage was far from neutral, instead strongly reflecting each country's political, economic, and national priorities, thereby confirming the role of media as an extension of state interests in this strategic conflict.
