Centre for War, Peace and the News Media

Since 1993, the Media and Conflict Program has extended the Centre’s mission concerning the role of the media during the Cold War. The programme was initiated to explore the potential of the media to contribute to international peace and security. The programme’s core mission is to examine and develop media-based strategies, techniques, and approaches to prevent, lessen, manage, and help resolve international, national, ethnic, and sub-state conflicts and their consequences. It is designed to actively intervene in conflict situations to bring what techniques do exist to bear on minimising the human suffering they entail. The centre promotes the norms and practices that are necessary for independent journalism to operate effectively in diverse political, social and technological environments. Moreover, the centre’s mission is to strengthen the economic, legal and educational institutions that fully functioning media sectors in emerging democracies require.
