Funded Activity Summary

News and Community Conflict: examining the role of journalism in local conflict and conflict resolution. The project will place Australia at the leading edge of research on news and conflict. It will contribute an evaluation of the local possibilities for news and conflict resolution to wider international debates on the media in wartime. The research will benefit the Australian journalism profession, journalism educators, policymakers and organisations involved in addressing local level and intercommunal conflicts. An accessible report will provide case studies, strategies and recommendations for the media's role in situations of conflict. By developing a complex, cultural understanding of news audiences and news impacts the research will contribute to processes of change and improvement within the Australian news media.
