The news media played a crucial role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide:
local media fuelled the killings, while the international media
either ignored or seriously misunderstood what was happening. This
is the first book to explore both sides of the media equation.
Examining how local radio was used as a tool of hate, encouraging
neighbours to turn against each other, the book also presents a
critique of international media coverage. Bringing together local
reporters, high-profile Western journalists and leading media
theorists, this is the only book to identify the extent of the
media's accountability. It also examines deliberations by the
International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda on the role of the media
in the genocide. This book is a startling record of the negative
influence that the media can have. The authors put forward
suggestions for the future, outlining how we can avoid censorship
and propaganda, and argue for a new responsibility in media
reporting.
