This study aimed to identify the level of psychological stress and social isolation among a sample of Palestinian media professionals working in Palestinian media institutions. Participants of the study incorporated (200) media professionals, aged between (60–25) years; they were selected using purposeful sampling. Two scales of psychological stress and social isolation were developed by the researchers. The results of the study showed that the level of psychological stress among the media professionals was high while the level of social isolation was medium due mainly to Israeli occupation and spread of Covid-19 pandemic. The study results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at the level (α ≤ 0.05) in the level of feeling psychological pressure and social isolation attributed to a number of demographic variables including age, marital status and years of experience.
