Examines the role of the media in inciting conflicts within nations, as well as the adverse impacts of news reporting on international perceptions, and on policy making. However, also highlights the value of informed journalism. Part Two includes case studies of nine contemporary ethnic conflicts: these analyses include media coverage of the Gulf War and of the Bosnia Civil War; ethnic antagonism in former Yugoslavia; media and the international response to genocide in Rwanda; and current reporting on ethnicity and conflict in Ethiopia.
