This book collates a wide spectrum of views across South Asia,
including Myanmar, and debates the role of media in forging
regional understanding and goodwill. The media's role in South Asia
is essentially conceived as state-centric, adhering to the standard
templates of nationalism. This inherent tendency has, at times,
cost neutral and balanced coverage of events and issues. The
contributors to this volume acknowledge the potential of the media
as an institution which could/should, in addition to its routine
reportage, focus on regional issues of common interest and promote
regional understanding. The book consists of 16 chapters attempted
by scholars from all SAARC countries including Myanmar. They focus
on a range of issues relating to media-ownership, impact of social
media, media narrative, nationalist bias, state control,
envelope-journalism, threat from non-state actors, and a host of
other such issues. There is a consensus that the media has vastly
enhanced its capability to mould and shape public perception and
opinion with the revolution in communication technology in recent
decades. They strongly endorse the view that the media should play
its due role in promoting regional understanding and cooperation.
