Abstract

The peace journalism has a particular challenge in the informational coverage of nationalist conflicts, namely, how to contribute to a fair solution and, therefore, in favor of the oppressed, and, at the same time, to prevent that this commitment contributes to an escalation of the confrontation towards violence, something extremely easy in disputes so full of feelings and rooted in the culture of peoples. Researchers in peace journalism face a parallel challenge: to study whether the discourse on the conflict contributes to transform it in the fairest way possible and with the least pain.
