Expanding Peace Journalism

<p>Expanding Peace Journalism: Comparative and Critical Approaches draws together cutting-edge contributions from 17 international writers to this rapidly emerging field of research. Media coverage of conflicts is propagandistic and commonly portrays two elite actors contesting a single goal of ‘victory’. This major new text explores and interrogates peace journalism as a significant challenge to this hegemonic discourse, which has been advocated and elaborated over the recent years in journalism, media development and academic spheres.</p><p>Expanding Peace Journalism traces boundaries and links with the adjacent fields including alternative media, social movement activism and media democratisation. It includes case studies – from the media of countries including Australia, Canada, Guatemala, India, Nigeria, Norway, Sweden and the US – and explores connections with human rights, as well as Indigenous and women's rights activism.</p>
