Measuring journalistic peace/war performance: An exploratory study of crisis reporters’ attitudes and perceptions

Abstract: Based on Galtung's concept of peace/war journalism, this exploratory work attempts to advance an empirical method to develop a survey instrument for a reliable and valid assessment of journalists' attitudes toward peace/war performance. The authors propose a measurement index of conflict reporting which combines several practices linked to peace/war journalism. The usefulness of the approach is then demonstrated by quantitative and qualitative evidence from a pilot study based on a survey of worldwide members … Show more

“…Not only were the discussions on the factual, technological, and aesthetic aspects of reporting often mutually interlinked, like in the debate about the location of fences, but they were also often interwoven with a political dimension (see Neumann and Fahmy 2016;.…”

“…The interrelations of fearful media messages, social crises and terrorism have been thematized by major media researchers; much of the research and theory stresses the shift towards a milieu in which media and spreading news become involved in decision-making processes, and thus central to the politics of conflicts (Altheide, 2004; Hoskins and O’Loughlin, 2010). Ben-Yehuda et al (2013: 72), Van der Meer et al (2016) and Neumann and Fahmy (2016) have argued that by making crisis news, journalists may affect escalation processes. According to the researchers, framing transforms events through filtering and reflecting images of reality in world politics so that, for example, following the rating may bring about a rise in tensions or create panic.…”

“…Although there have been recent creative approaches to studying the interrelations of crisis situations and media (e.g. Rutten et al, 2013; Väliaho, 2014), the vast majority of the research still concentrates primarily on media coverage of crises, including conflicts, social crises or terrorism (Ben-Yehuda, 2013; Falkheimer and Olsson, 2015; McDonald and Lawrence, 2004; Neumann and Fahmy, 2016; Nord and Strömbäck, 2006; Olsson and Nord, 2015; Van der Meer et al, 2016; Van Leuven et al, 2013; Vincze, 2014). However, media are not limited to words and representations; they are complexes of persons, technological devices, texts, meanings and power relations (Hansen, 2006; Lievrouw, 2014; Packer and Crofts Wiley, 2012).…”

“…In practice, prudent crisis reporting would entail sensitivity to the particular objectivity-as-a-practice (Carpentier and Trioen 2010) and using emotionality in a nonviolent, moderating, peaceful way. In this sense, prudent crisis reporting would be close to Johan Galtung's notion of peace journalism: "journalism of attachment" to all victims that "tries to depolarise by showing the black and white of all sides, and to de-escalate by highlighting peace and conflict resolution as much as violence" (Galtung and Fischer 2013: 99; see also Neumann andFahmy 2016 andRuigrok 2008). Galtung and Fischer (2013) suggest that empathy and creativity are required of peace journalists; Glück (2016) extends the ability to empathize to all good journalists.…”
