Summary/Abstract: This paper provides linguistic research on the diplomatic crisis in the Gulf between Qatar and the neighboring countries. Van Dijk’s model was used as a theoretical-methodological starting point within the critical discourse analysis. The aim of the research is to present the phenomenon of “access to discourse”, which answers the questions on who participates in the discourse and to what extent. The paper analyzes the approach taken by the parties involved in the crisis as published on the portals of the Arabic TV channels RT Arabic and Sky News Arabia and whether this approach matches the ideological positions of the governments of the countries that own the two media. The approach is investigated using a quantitative method through the analysis of speech roles in the headlines and speech space in the news texts based on a corpus of 908 texts published on the portals in the period of one month.
