Amid the ongoing and volatile debate over the nature and
potential of peace journalism, this volume presents visionary
insights from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. The
significant empirical studies included here will provide foundation
data for communication studies. The contributors broaden the
purview and terrain of peace journalism to include new media, and
offers essays on the eff ects and the content of global
communications. In sum, the thirteenth volume of "Peace and Policy"
deepens our empirical knowledge of the nature and effects of
conflict, while underscoring the increase in numbers of
participants and breadth of communications.
For the past half decade, these contributors have worked
independently and collaboratively to increase systematic
understanding of the value of peace journalism and communication to
civil society. Th e group has contributed to a complex articulation
of the various frames of conflict coverage. In so doing, they have
clarified the structural, systemic and cultural aspects of global
violence. In turn, this has helped create institutions, programs
and strategies for enhancing constructive peace communication that
will increase mutual understanding, cooperation, reconciliation and
transform confl ict.
Peace journalism has reframed understanding of confl ict from a
tug-of-war between two parties in which one side's gain is the
other's loss, to the terms of relationships between various sides.
It considers the context and the need to identify a range of
stakeholders broader than the sides directly engaged in violent
confrontation. In sum, it leads to understanding of the distinction
between stated demands and underlying objectives, so as to identify
voices working for creative and non-violent solutions, and finding
ways to transform and transcend the lines of confl ict.
