Peace Journalism in the Holy Land - new video
A message from Hawthorn Press Ltd

Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick are experienced professional journalists. They also lecture in peace journalism. They run the Oxford thinktank Reporting the World and have led journalist training programmes in many countries.

They have produced a video 'News from the Holy Land'. This video offers a hard-hitting introduction to peace journalism and conflict analysis for journalists, civil society activists, and educators in media studies, politics and journalism. It includes:

¨ An overview of peace journalism and conflict analysis.
¨ Two versions of a report about a suicide bombing in Jerusalem - one War Journalism,
the other Peace Journalism
¨ Over 36 interview clips with commentary
¨ Useful teaching notes, with case studies, exercises, discussion topics and questions

‘A really excellent and extraordinary achievement.’
Professor Greg Philo, Glasgow University Media Group

‘…shows how journalists can improve their coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict…The film stresses that it is the lack of context in mainstream reporting of the conflict that leads to a process of polarisation. This is partly because the media are only interested in violence. As veteran Israeli peace activist Uri Avnery points out in the film, “…if you don’t kill somebody, you’re not news.”

Victor Kattan, The Electronic Intifada

'It was a very good idea to suggest how better to cover and report than just do another critique, and Jake and Annabel did it excellently.'

Tim Llewellyn, former BBC Middle East Correspondent
