Reviews

'For scholars of the media, for journalists or activists, this book will provide new insights into debate around professionalism, ethics and the improvement of journalism for a long time to come.' -- Ylva Rodny-Gumede * Ecquid Novi: African Journalism Studies * ' ... given how vast the field is, Expanding Peace Journalism certainly offers an excellent account of peace journalism, providing much-needed empirical and critical research, and is particularly valuable for students and scholars wanting to understand the state of the art and the seemingly limitless possibilities for future studies in peace journalism.' -- Hayley Phillips * Global Media Journal *

'For scholars of the media, for journalists or activists, this book will provide new insights into debate around professionalism, ethics and the improvement of journalism for a long time to come.' -- Ylva Rodny-Gumede * Ecquid Novi: African Journalism Studies * 'Addressing a variety of important theoretical, conceptual, methodological and practical aspects of peace journalism and/or its extension models, this volume not only provides insights into the latest developments in this important field of research, but also touches upon areas that often remain invisible for the broad public, as well as for the scientific community. In this regard, this book is a major contribution to the development of a peace journalism that will be highly suited to making the world a better place.' -- Irina Volf * Conflict & Communication * ' ... given how vast the field is, Expanding Peace Journalism certainly offers an excellent account of peace journalism, providing much-needed empirical and critical research, and is particularly valuable for students and scholars wanting to understand the state of the art and the seemingly limitless possibilities for future studies in peace journalism.' -- Hayley Phillips * Global Media Journal *
