Journalism in conflict and post-conflict conditions : worldwide perspectives

This most important book on Journalism in conflict, is the result of a long-term and fruitful collaboration between researchers in the North and South. The essays address questions in different contexts, ranging from Afghanistan to South Sudan, Syria to Libya, and Nepal to Colombia.

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, University of Gothenburg
