Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Journalism, Journalism Professions, grade: 7,5, Maastricht University (FASOS), language: English, abstract: The results of the present work seek to clarify the question in what ways does the phenomenon of social media change how we have defined, explored, and implemented peace journalism thus far? For only when it is apparent how seriously this new reality affects the concept of peace journalism and its practical implementation will the need for further research also become clear. Peace journalism plays a role and has the potential to sensibilize people to conflicts, to have a de-escalating effect and thus ultimately to promote peace. The ideas behind the concept of peace journalism gained importance primarily through the articles of Johann Galtung in the 1960s. Initially formulated as a theory, the ideas found increased application in practice in the 1990s, were implemented by journalists and is nowadays a firmly established, if not uncontroversial, subfield in journalism. Despite its potential, peace journalism is not a miracle cure. The concept has its limits of effectiveness and applicability and misapplied, may do more harm than good. Peace journalism has an impact on the readership and is no less popular than so-called war journalism, but it reaches people especially if they are not hardliners who have already established a war frame of the situation. Peace journalism will therefor never be able to transform an entire society but can make a start with certain people at certain times, from where the idea can spread and possibly become established and have long-term effects. However, it is noticeable that the idea of peace journalism as currently formulated is becoming increasingly irrelevant in practice due to the changing media landscape, namely the technologies of social media. Research that aims to advance peace journalism must therefore first and foremost examine social media, their modes of action, their functions, their respective audiences, their potential and their dangers.

The contributors, ranging from prominent scholars to the Head of Newsgathering at the BBC, discuss a diverse range of key case studies, including the role of Bellingcat in conflict journalism; war and peace journalism in Bangladesh; visual storytelling in conflict zones; and rampant cyber-misogyny confronting women journalists in Finland, India, the Philippines and South Africa. Bringing together theory and practice, the collection offers an in-depth examination of the changes taking place in the working practices of journalists as ongoing, strategic assaults against them increase. Insights on Peace and Conflict Reporting is a powerful resource for students and academics in the fields of global journalism, foreign news reporting, conflict reporting, globalisation, media and international communication.

Download or read book Communication and Peace written by Julia Hoffmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the use of communication in resolving conflicts, with a focus on de-escalation and processes of peacebuilding and peace formation. From the employment of hate radio in the Rwanda genocide, to the current conflict between Russia and the Ukraine following events in the Crimea, communication and the media are widely recognized as powerful tools in conflicts and war. Although there has been significant academic attention on the relationship between the media, conflict and war, academic efforts to understand this relationship have tended to focus primarily on the links between communication and conflict, rather than on communication and peace. In order to make sense of peace it is essential to look at communication in its many facets, mediated or not. This is true within many of the diverse strands that make up the field of communication and peace, but it is also true in the sense that a holistic and interdisciplinary approach is missing from the literature. This book addresses this widely acknowledged lacuna by providing an interdisciplinary perspective on the field, bringing together relevant, but so far largely isolated, streams of research. In doing so, it aims to provide a platform for further reflection of the meaning of, and requirements for, peace in our contemporary world with a focus on de-escalation, conflict transformation, reconciliation and processes of peacebuilding – as opposed to conflict escalation or crisis intervention. This volume will be of much interest to students of peace and conflict studies, peacebuilding, media and communication studies, security studies and IR in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 2.1, University of Calabar, language: English, abstract: Conflict is one of the defining features of the modern world. Since the end of the Cold War, there have been countless conflicts that have involved the deaths of millions of people and the suffering and displacement of millions of people and even more. It is impossible to accurately quantify human suffering due to conflict. To take one indicator; it has been suggested that, in the last ten years, over two million children have died in conflicts, more than one million have been orphaned and more than six millions have been disabled or seriously injured. Wars have had an important part in psychiatric history in several ways, among the consequences of conflict and wars; the impact on the mental health of the civilian population is one of the most significant. Women are mostly affected than men; other vulnerable groups are children, the elderly and the disabled. These are associated with the degree of trauma and the availability of physical and psychological support being linked, war adversely afflicts combatants and non-combatant alike, both physically and emotionally, death, injury, sexual violence, malnutrition, illness and disability are some of the most threatening physical consequences of war, while post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety is some emotional effect. The terrors and horror spread by the violence of war disrupts lives and severs relationships and families, leaving individuals and communities distressed. The use of peace journalism could be coping strategies in countries witnessing conflicts, every day the media brings the horrors of wars and conflict on the television, war leaves a traumatic mark on the mental health and minds of many. Many terrorist target civilians by damaging hospitals, schools etc. while the scars of the holocaust are still scorching, and its memory are still fading. War and terrorism have a long-lasting effect on a huge number of persons. Deaths at the time of conflict are just one element of: psychological trauma, displacement of people injury, diseases, and decline in economic and physical infrastructure. Violence is infectious; children exposed to it are more likely to grow up to be perpetrators or victims of violence themselves, the pernicious cycle can result in families and communities suffering violence for generations to come.
Download or read book Media and Political Conflict written by Gadi Wolfsfeld and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The news media have become the central arena for political conflicts today. It is, therefore, not surprising that the role of the news media in political conflicts has received a good deal of public attention in recent years. Media and Political Conflict provides readers with an understanding of the ways in which news media do and do not become active participants in these conflicts. The author's 'political contest' model provides an alternative approach to this important issue. The best way to understand the role of the news media in politics, he argues, is to view the competition over the news media as part of a larger and more significant contest for political control. The book is divided into two parts. While the first is devoted to developing the theoretical model, the second employs this approach to analyse the role of the news media in three conflicts: the Gulf war, the Palestinian intifada, and the attempt by the Israeli right wing to derail the Israeli-Palestinian peace accord.

Download or read book Media and Peace in the Middle East written by Giuliana Tiripelli and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In exploring the dynamics and narratives of peace in journalism, this book explains the media's impact on the transformation of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. It discusses the perspectives of peace activists who have been involved in grassroots action since the first Intifada, and examines how their relation with the mainstream media has evolved over time. It compares these views with those of professional journalists who have been covering the conflict, and their sense of the difficulties inherent in practicing a different kind of journalism. The interviews included in this study contribute towards the model of Peace Journalism, with a view to facilitating its successful application to this conflict. Highlighting both the obstacles and opportunities associated with this endeavour, Tiripelli offers suggestions for the strategic application of this model.
