By pitching stories from particular angles, the media decides the issues for public debate. In \u003ci\u003eReporting Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e, one of two inaugural titles in the New Approaches to Peace and Conflict series, Jake Lynch and Johan Galtung challenge reporters to tell the real story of conflicts around the world.\u003cbr\u003e The dominant kind of conflict reporting is what Lynch and Galtung call war journalism: conflicts are seen as good versus evil, and the score is kept with body counts. The media's handling of 9\/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq highlight the one-sided reporting that war journalism creates. Peace journalism uses a broader lens: why not report what caused the conflict, and how it might be resolved? Lynch and Galtung show how journalists could have reported the Korean War, the NATO bombing in Kosovo and the first Gulf War, sparking a more informed discussion of these important issues.\u003cbr\u003e This provocative book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for everyone who wants the media to tell the whole truth about conflict.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48135654539422,"sku":"UBD-9780702237676","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780702237676.jpg?v=1786626448","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780702237676","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
