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.
