Abstract

This article reviewed the debate on war and peace journalism and
investigated empirical patterns in studies conducted in this field of
research for the purpose of having an overview of areas that have
been well-researched, as well as, those that are yet to be
researched. Hence, the paper through a systematic and
chronological review of literature examined normative studies and
empirical studies conducted, as well as, methodologies and theories
used in this field of research. The review of literature found that
early studies that emerged on peace and war journalism were
normative and ethical in nature describing what peace and war
journalism is and intellectually suggesting ways it should be
practised. Later, there was a move away from normative studies to
empirical studies that examined media coverage of war and
conflicts in different countries around the world. Theoretical
frameworks that have been used to explain and strengthen this field
of research include agenda-setting, framing, conflict, critical
discourse analysis and critical race theories. Majority of the studies
have adapted the use of qualitative and quantitative content
analyses with only a few adopting a triangulation approach that
combines the use of experiments, focus group discussions, critical
discourse analysis and surveys. Based on these findings, this paper
sets an agenda for future research in the field of peace and war
journalism.
