Abstract	:	This paper will examine Israeli, Lebanese, and Iranian media coverage of the shelling of the UNIFIL compound on the outskirts of Qana in April 1996. By closely following the media coverage of the incident in these three countries it is possible to not only assess how different media cultures react to an international incident, but also how different governments attempt to manage the release and consumption of data by domestic and international audiences. The media coverage of Qana demonstrates that a government's ability to control what information is released to and reported by domestic media sources does not necessarily mean that the resulting media coverage will be supportive of government political objectives. Homogeneity in media coverage leaves a government unable to modify its position as new information is found, resulting in coverage that does not effectively adapt to new developments during international incidents.
