Hope rings out in voices of protest
Remember, when you see news pictures of activists being carted off by robocops guarding delegates to the APEC summit, their dissent from the official line is keeping alive the prospect of peace. They, in short, are the guardians of democracy and the hope of a safer world that we could now create.

Jake Lynch, February 6, 2007
Defining independence is critical to new statehood
Discusses what it means to be independent, in the wake of the Ahtisaari report on Kosovo's future. It's also a moment of truth for a famous or infamous bit of coercive diplomacy from Washington.

Iran in British media - a peace journalism perspective
The left-of-centre Guardian, for instance, comes out as markedly more War Journalistic - more likely to reproduce dominant readings of war propaganda - than some of its rivals. The right-wing Spectator shows a far higher proportion of Peace Journalism than its left-wing counterpart, the New Statesman. Peace Journalism, it is argued, produces findings of material relevance to conflict understanding as well as highlights appropriate steps editors and reporters could take to ensure accuracy and balance in their coverage.
