Abstract

Media coverage often provides an incomplete or inaccurate picture of sex trafficking and its impact. This study explores how myths about sex trafficking are propagated in Israeli media and how newspapers construct this concept. A thematic analysis was conducted on 90 articles from the past decade. The findings reveal two themes: (a) forms of sex trafficking and (b) characteristics of key figures. Israeli newspaper coverage tends to conflate sex trafficking with prostitution, focus on salacious details, perpetuate sexist misunderstandings, and misrepresent common methods of trafficking. These myths lead to misunderstandings that hinder the ability to identify and respond effectively.

以色列报纸媒体中性交易神话的定性探讨。

媒体对性交易及其影响的报道往往不完整或不准确。本研究探讨以色列媒体如何传播性交易的神话，以及报纸如何建构这一概念。对过去十年的90篇文章进行了专题分析。调查结果揭示了两个主题：(a)性贩运的形式和(b)关键人物的特征。以色列报纸的报道往往将性贩运与卖淫混为一谈，关注淫秽的细节，使性别歧视的误解永久化，并歪曲贩运的常见方法。这些误解会导致误解，从而阻碍识别和有效应对的能力。
