The Effect of British Occupation and Mandate on the Palestinian Press Institution

Abstract

Although there were a lot of studies published concerning the Palestinian cause during the Mandate and Occupation of Britain, these studies were neglected and overlooked in the history of Arab journalism in Palestine. As a result, its role of defending the Arabism and independence of Palestine was made absent. It seems that the reason for this negligence referred to the circumstances that happened in 1948 by the destruction and loss of most of the Arabic journal issues published concerning it. It was possible if it were to add a lot to the Palestinian history.
