Journalism in conflict and post-conflict conditions : worldwide perspectives

Journalism in Conflict and Post-Conflict Conditions: Worldwide Perspectives
aims to provide both empirical and theoretical input to the discussions of the role
of journalism and media in conflict and post-conflict situations and in the often
rather muddy waters between them. Together, the chapters in this book emphasise
that discussions about post-conflict situations will gain from including the media.
At the same time, the contributions from different contexts and parts of the world
problematize the concept of post-conflict and powerfully illustrate that the phase
between war/conflict and peace is neither unidirectional nor linear, as the use of the
concept sometimes seems to imply.
“Journalism in Conflict and Post-Conflict Conditions: Worldwide Perspectives is a most
important book in our time of uncertainty. It adds to our knowledge base and understanding
concerning the role of journalism and media in the complexities of post-conflict processes and
peace building – a role that is often ignored in contemporary discussions.” Ulla Carlsson, UNESCO Chair on Freedom of Expression, Media Development and Global Policy,
