This study seeks to monitor and analyze the recent trends in Arab and foreign research on the role of satellite television channels in addressing the other, by examining the research interest fields and methodological aspects, through conducting a survey study regarding Arab and foreign published researches during the period from 2011 to 2019. The study presents completed summaries of the most prominent findings of the examined Arab and foreign researches, understanding the theoretical and practical trends in media research and identifying the used research methods and tools. The objectives of the study are determined in monitoring the studies that dealt with the recent trends in Arab and foreign research on satellite channels and addressing the other during the period from 2011-2019, determining the research issues and priorities which the examined studies concerned with, identifying the methodological and theoretical frameworks used in these studies, in addition to creating a vision for the future and setting research priorities to develop research and studies on the relationship between satellite channels and addressing the other. The study's methodological design depends on the secondary analysis method, with its qualitative approach. The total sample of the examined studies reached 62 studies, including 20 Arab studies and 42 foreign ones, are distributed across the three dominant categories of the research trends which determined in: First: studies on the problem of "resistance/ openness" in addressing the other through satellite channels. Second: studies on the problem of balance in the flow of news between the self and the other through satellite channels. Third: studies on the problem of shared images between the self and the other, and its role in activating or obstructing the dialogue through satellite channels. Keywords: recent trends - satellite channels roles - the other - Arab research development – second-level analysis
