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.

Television News. The South African post-apartheid experience, offers new and original material in exploring the role of broadcasting in transition. It looks into the SABC and its news coverage in the ten years from Nelson Mandela's inauguration in 1994. It does so by means of qualitative and quantitative analysis of TV news output, backed up by an extensive programme of newsroom observation and interviewing of key executives and professionals involved with the SABC, speaking to debates about nationhood, media and politics in South Africa. In countries in transition, where processes of nation building are considered vital, the demands for uncritical journalism may be strong. The analysed news coverage, and excerpts from the interviews reveal that a serious reassertion of control over the public service broadcaster took place in South Africa towards the end of the first decade of democracy. An increased readiness is found in the SABC and its news stories to confound the party with the nation and the party leader with the national leader. This development is described as a worrying tendency with a clear impact on the governing ethos and daily journalistic routines of the SABC news.
