Peace Journalism. Impact of social media on the field of research on peace journalism by Isabel Thoma Pdf

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.

Insights on Peace and Conflict Reporting by Kristin Skare Orgeret Pdf

As the second book in the Routledge Journalism Insights series, this edited collection explores the possibilities and challenges involved in contemporary reporting of peace and conflict. Featuring 16 expert contributing authors, the collection maps the field of peace and conflict reporting in a digital world, in a context where the financial prospects of the news industry are challenged and professional authority, credibility and autonomy are decaying. 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.

Peace Journalism Principles and Practices by Steven Youngblood Pdf

Long-time peace journalist Steven Youngblood presents the foundations of peace journalism in this exciting new textbook, offering readers the methods, approaches, and concepts required to use journalism as a tool for peace, reconciliation, and development. Guidance is offered on framing stories, ethical treatment of sensitive subjects, and avoiding polarizing stereotypes through a range of international examples and case studies spanning from the Iraq war to the recent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. Youngblood teaches students to interrogate traditional media narratives about crime, race, politics, immigration, and civil unrest, and to illustrate where—and how—a peace journalism approach can lead to more responsible and constructive coverage, and even assist in the peace process itself.

Communication and Peace by Julia Hoffmann,Virgil Hawkins Pdf

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.

Peace journalism and the consequences of war by Rackel Jackson Agara Pdf

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.

Media and Peace in the Middle East by Giuliana Tiripelli Pdf

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.

Peace Journalism in East Africa by Fredrick Ogenga Pdf

This concise edited collection explores the practice of peace journalism in East Africa, focusing specifically on the unique political and economic contexts of Uganda and Kenya. The book offers a refreshing path towards transformative journalism in East Africa through imbibing pan-African institutional methodological approaches and the African philosophies of Utu (humanity), Umoja (unity) and Harambee (collective responsibility) as news values. Contributions from key academics demonstrate how media practices that are supportive of peace can prevent the escalation of conflict and promote its nonviolent resolution. The chapters cumulatively represent a rich repertoire of experiences and cases that skillfully tell the story of the connections between media and peacebuilding in East Africa, while also avoiding romanticizing peace journalism as an end to itself or using it as an excuse for censorship. This cutting-edge research book is a valuable resource for academics in journalism, media studies, communication, peace and conflict studies, and sociology.

Media, Conflict and Peacebuilding in Africa by Jacinta Maweu,Admire Mare Pdf

This book explores the role and place of popular, traditional and digital media platforms in the mediatization, representation and performance of various conflicts and peacebuilding interventions in the African context. The role of the media in conflict is often depicted as either ‘good’ (as symbolized by peace journalism) or ‘bad’ (as exemplified by war journalism), but this book moves beyond this binary to highlight the ‘in-between’ role that the media often plays in times of conflict. The volume does not only focus on the relationship between mass media, conflict and peacebuilding processes but it broadens its scope by critically analysing the dynamic and emergent roles of popular and digital media platforms in a continent where the semi-literate and oral communities still rely heavily on popular communication platforms to get news and information. Whilst social media platforms have been hailed for their assumed democratic and digital dividends, this book does not only focus on these positive aspects but also shines a light on dark forms of participation which are fuelling racial, gender, ethnic, political and religious conflicts in highly polarized and stratified societies. Highlighting the many ways in which traditional, digital and popular media can be used to both escalate conflicts and promote peacebuilding, this volume will be a useful resource for students, researchers and civil society groups interested in peace and conflict studies, journalism and media studies in different contexts within Africa.

Responsible Journalism in Conflicted Societies by Jake Lynch,Charis Rice Pdf

Setting out multiple perspectives from media and journalism scholars, this collection addresses the implications that today’s technological, socio-political, and economic conditions have for relations between journalists, sources, audiences, and wider publics. Applying an inclusive concept of ‘conflicted societies’ that goes beyond those affected by violent conflict to include traditionally ‘stable’ but increasingly polarised democracies, such as the UK and the USA, contributors engage with longstanding questions and new challenges surrounding concepts of responsibility, trust, public service, and public interest in journalism. The unique span of studies offers international scope, including societies often overlooked in media and journalism studies, such as Northern Ireland, Turkey, Cyprus, Pakistan, The Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic. Chapters also feature contemporary case studies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as a route into understanding the pertinent issue of fake news, and the ‘local turn’ in journalism. Responsible Journalism in Conflicted Societies is not only a valuable resource for those studying conflict reporting and international journalism but will also appeal to scholars working at the intersection of media, journalism, communication, peace, conflict, and security studies.
