The way the media covers conflicts influences how people understand the world and one another. News reporting that emphasizes confrontation can fuel fear and tension, whereas responsible journalism can create space for dialogue, understanding, and peaceful solutions. <\/p>\n

Peace journalism does not mean downplaying conflicts or ignoring problems. It refers to journalistic work that seeks to provide comprehensive information on the causes, consequences, and possible solutions to conflicts, while respecting human dignity and diverse perspectives. <\/p>\n

Vikes’ Peace Journalism sub-program<\/strong> strengthens journalists\u2019 ability to practice ethical and conflict-sensitive journalism and promotes dialogue, security, and peaceful public discourse.<\/p>\n
