مستخلص تتمثل مشكلة البحث بمعرفة صورة العراق في مجلة (Time) الأمريكية، للمدة من 1/1/2014 إلى 31/12/2017، إذ إن مجلة (Time) هي واحدة من أهم ثلاث مجلات في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، وهي أيضاً من أبرز المجلات الدولية العالمية، التي أدت - ومعها أغلب الصحف العالمية - على طول عقود من الزمن دوراً بارزاً في توجيه الرأي العام العالمي إزاء قضايا مهمة. ومن أجل الوصول إلى الأهداف التي يسعى الباحث إلى تحقيقها في عرض المادة العلمية، فقد اتبع منهج المسح الوصفي التحليلي لمعرفة الموضوعات التي تتناولها المجلة بكافة أعدادها، وقد اعتمد الباحث على تحليل المضمون من خلال إستخدام الأداة المناسبة لوصف وتحليل المحتوى ودلالاته وارتباطاته المتعددة والاستدلال على الأبعاد العامة للموضوعات قيد الدراسة في هذه المجلة، وكذلك استعمل التحليل الإحصائي الذي يتم الاعتماد عليه لتبويب مختلف المعلومات المتحصل عليها وجدولتها، لدراسة تحليل مضمون مجلة (Time) (الطبعة الأمريكية)، ومن ثم الحصول على النتائج النهائية لتلك الدراسة. وقد أظهرت نتائج الدراسة إن المجلة اهتمت بالشأن العراقي بشكل ملحوظ، وحاولت إبراز جوانب سلبية عند إظهار الصورة الذهنية للواقع العراقي لدى المتلقي، وربط الإرهاب بحالة الصراع الداخلي مناطقياً ومذهبياً وعرقياً، والتأكيد على الجذور التاريخية لهذه النزاعات، كما عمدت المجلة إلى تجسيد الواقع الطائفي بين مكونات المجتمع العراقي، إذ أكدت وجود الكراهية بين الطوائف والقوميات العراقية عن طريق تكرار نقاط الخلاف وتضخيمها بالشكل الذي يؤدي إلى ترسيخها في ذهن القارئ، وحاولت المجلة التقليل من شأن الشخصية العراقية بشكل عام ومن الشخصيات البارزة والمؤثرة في الواقع العراقي على الأخص، وأكدت المجلة عدم جاهزية الحكومة العراقية لتولي إدارة هذا البلد ومسك زمام الحكم من دون التدخل الأمريكي والتدخل المباشر في الشأن العراقي، وأعطت المجلة صور نمطية مفادها أن هناك حرباً مستمرة تقوم بها الإدارة الأمريكية ضد الإرهاب ذا الرداء الإسلامي وهي حرب إيدلوجية، كما ربطت ذلك بوجود مصادر تمويل مهمة للإرهاب، كمنابع النفط وغيرها الموجودة في مناطق مختلفة من العالم (وفي مقدمتها العراق) والتي يجب السيطرة عليها من قبل الجانب الأمريكي - حسب رؤية المجلة - لضمان عدم تدفقها واستخدامها مستقبلاً في تغذية البؤر الإرهابية في العالم. كلمات مفتاحية: مجلة تايم، العراق، الصحافة

Abstract The problem is searching for the image of Iraq in Time magazine in the period from 1/1/2014 to 31/12/2017, as Time magazine is one of the three most important magazines in the United States, International journals, which - with most international newspapers - have for decades played a prominent role in guiding world public opinion on important issues. In order to achieve the objectives that the researcher seeks to achieve in the presentation of the scientific material, he followed the descriptive survey method to know the topics covered by the magazine in all its issues. The researcher relied on the appropriate tool to describe and analyze the content, its implications, its multiple associations, and to infer the general dimensions of the topics under the statistical analysis used to classify and schedule the various information obtained to study the analysis of the content of Time magazine (American edition), and then to obtain the final results of the study. The results of the study showed that the magazine was interested in the Iraqi issue significantly, and tried to highlight the negative aspects when showing the mental image of the Iraqi reality to the recipient, and linking terrorism to the state of internal conflict regionally, culturally, and ethnically, and to emphasize the historical roots of these conflicts. In order to reflect the reality of sectarian components Iraqi society, the magazine stressed the existence of hatred between the Iraqi communities and nationalities by repeating points of disagreement and amplifying them in a way that leads to engraving it in the mind of the reader. The magazine tried to underestimate the Iraqi personality in general and prominent figures and influential in the Iraqi reality in particular. The magazine stressed the lack of readiness of the Iraqi government to take over the administration of this country and hold the reins of government without US intervention and direct intervention in the Iraqi issue, and the magazine gave stereotypes that there was a war between the American administration and terrorism, which is an ideological war, and linked it to the existence of important sources of funding for terrorism like oil and other sources located in different parts of the world (primarily Iraq), which must be controlled by the American side to ensure that it will not be used in the future use in feeding terrorist spots in the world.
