It was a different kind of uprising from the first Intifada, in part because Israeli and Palestinian societies were more physically divided than they had been in 1987. The previous Intifada had involved large segments of the Palestinian population in demonstrations, tax protests, and other popular resistance. In 2000, the presence of the PA impeded some of these means of protesting the now more geographically distant occupation. The existence of the PA also meant that the Palestinian side had more small arms than they had in the 1980s.

The existence of the PA also meant that the Palestinian side had more small arms than they had in the 1980s. 58 All of these dynamics resulted in a much more heavily armed uprising than had occurred a generation earlier.

Foreign correspondents were no longer covering high-level negotiations; they found themselves chronicling a dangerous conflict.

34 Not only do journalists cover topics like climate change as hybrids—science on the politics pages, and politics on the science pages—but also, as I show here, producing journalism involves methods and ideas about how to properly produce knowledge taken from the sciences and applied to that ultimate non-laboratory, the street. A science studies approach to journalism informs investigation of the minute processes of journalism—where to place a tripod to cover an event—as well as the values of journalism, especially because these values have been modeled off of ethics in the sciences.
