Abstract

Most people are reflexively skeptical when they hear the term peace journalism yet are usually receptive to the principles of peace journalism like accuracy; balance; objectivity; discussing solutions; avoiding inflammatory, demonizing, stereotyping language; and rejecting “us vs. them” narratives. Perhaps this is because the term peace is itself ironically inflammatory. A good starting point, therefore, could be to examine the concept of peace, and how it relates to the practice of journalism.

Abstract

Çoğu insan barış gazeteciliği terimini duyduğunda refleks olarak şüpheci yaklaşır, ancak genellikle doğruluk, denge, nesnellik, çözümleri tartışma, kışkırtıcı, şeytanlaştırıcı, klişeleştirici dilden kaçınma ve "biz ve onlar" anlatılarını reddetme gibi barış gazeteciliği ilkelerine açıktır. Belki de bunun nedeni barış teriminin kendisinin ironik bir şekilde kışkırtıcı olmasıdır. Bu nedenle, barış kavramını ve bunun gazetecilik pratiğiyle ilişkisini incelemek iyi bir başlangıç noktası olabilir.
