JEDDAH: The recent attempted military coup in Turkey left a lot of Arab TV viewers in a state of confusion, as news channels reported different versions of the situation and the fate of Erdogan.

Despite spending hours covering the events and reporting live images via Turkish TV channels, differences in reporting were evidently based on the channel鈥檚 relations with Turkey, regardless of the fact that the situation was still in the early stages. While one channel reported positively, another expressed dismay and disapproval of the military鈥檚 鈥渢errorist-like鈥� attempted coup.
Many Arab satellite channels were also unprepared when it came to providing Turkish language translators to translate live events, thus forcing them to resort to political analysts who, rather than providing political analysis, became translators of Erdogan鈥檚 Skype statement and other key moments.
To make matters worse, many channels reported rumors, which only forced them to apologize repeatedly to viewers about misinformation. Others justified misreporting with the fact that the situation was still complicated and unfolding. Analysis focused on Turkey post-Erdogan, as many channels viewed this situation as the new reality and truth. Reports on coup attempts in Turkish history and an 鈥渙usted鈥� president were eventually reformulated into a story about a successful president.
In other scenes, Arab channels broadcasted images of the army taking control of the streets and crowded bridges, while commentary was provided on these images as channels lacked reporters on the ground in Turkey to convey the reality.
This marks a sharp contrast with reporting from other countries, who had field reporters playing a great role in following up on events live.
The misinformation created a large gap in intellectual opinions and understanding of the situation in Turkey, as reporting across Arab channels lacked professionalism and impartiality. Such reporting appeared to be speaking about several events in different countries, rather than the reality in one time and place, leaving viewers confused and conflicted about what was true and what was not.
Rather than serve as a point of accurate and up-to-date information, TV news channels became more like the world of Twitter, where rumors and misinformation circulate faster than anywhere else.
