Peace Journalism<\/div>\n
is about what to report and how to report it in a way that creates non-violent responses to conflict. Unlike traditional reporting that is often divisive and sensational, Peace Journalism is conflict-sensitive, peace-oriented, and human-centered. It highlights solutions, gives voice to the voiceless, and explains the root causes of conflict. Peace Journalism\u00a0empowers\u00a0the media\u2019s role in peacebuilding by promoting\u00a0understanding, empathy, inclusiveness, and constructive dialogue.<\/div>\n
Join us as we explore the value and impact of Peace Journalism through global<\/div>\n
