MAP's name is inspired by the definition of Peace Journalism: “Peace Journalism approach provides a new road map tracing the connections between journalists, their sources, the stories they cover and the consequences of their reporting - the ethics of journalistic intervention”. (Peace Journalism, Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick, Hawthorn Press, Stroud, UK, 2005). What is Peace Journalism?
“Pe
ace Journalism is when editors and reporters make choices - of what stories to report, and how to report them - that create opportunities for society at large to consider and value non-violent responses to conflict (...) It uses the insights of conflict analysis and transformation to update the concepts of balance, fairness and accuracy in reporting. (…) It is peace, truth, people, and solution-oriented.” (Peace Journalism, Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick, Hawthorn Press, Stroud, UK, 2005).
