From the peace journalism model,evaluative criteria were derived under a set of five headings for content analysis of two televisionnews programmes and four newspapers. Distinctions under the headings were particularisedfor individual stories by critical discourse analysis to disclose potential sources of influencetransmitted into audience frames. The test material was then coded to fall within the upper andlower peace journalism quartiles of the ‘idiom and range’ of journalism, as currently practised,demonstrated by the content analysis. Transcripts of discussions by focus groups who saw thematerial, as well as written notes made whilst viewing by a larger sample of participants, werethemed according to Entman’s model of framing (1993), where causal i...

Before and after viewing, they completed a cognitive questionnaire and two tests designed to disclose changes in their emotional state. During the viewing, they also underwent measurement of blood volume pulse, from which their heart rate variability (HRV) was calculated. HRV measures effects on the autonomic nervous system caused by changes in breathing patterns as subjects respond to stimuli with empathic concern. Since these patterns are regulated by the vagal nerve, HRV readings can therefore be interpreted as an indicator of vagal tone, which Porges et al. propose as an ‘autonomic correlate of emotion’. In this study, vagal tone decreased from baselin...

From the peace journalism model, evaluative criteria were first derived as a set of headings for content analysis of existing television news as broadcast in each country. The test material was then coded to fall within the upper and lower peace journalism quintiles of the ‘idiom and range’ of local television journalism in each case. Distinctions under the headings were particularized for individual stories by critical discourse analysis, to disclose potential sources of influence transmitted into audience frames. Data about emotional responses, gathered from self-reporting questionnaires, were combined with a textual artefact, with participants completing a ‘thought-listing protocol’ as they watched. Focus groups also viewed the material and provided more in...

Viele professionelle Journalisten, die in vielen Ländern mit vielen Medien arbeiten, halten sich selbst für "objektiv". Zumindest stellen sie ihre Berichterstattung über wichtige Angelegenheiten nicht zugunsten der einen oder der anderen Seite verzerrt dar. Und dennoch zeigt ein großer Teil ihrer Konfliktberichterstattung ein erkennbar dominantes Muster von Kriegsjournalismus-verzerrt zugunsten von Krieg. Dieser Artikel geht davon aus, dass dies nicht aus einem Mangel, sondern aus einem Übermaß an Objektivität geschieht. Die meisten Konventionen, von denen viele Herausgeber und Reporter glauben, dass sie "objektiven" Journalismus definieren, entstanden als Reaktion auf ökonomische und politische Bedingungen, welche v. a. solche Nachrichten bevorzugten, die von der Mehrheit der Konsumenten als einwandfrei akzeptiert wurden. Drei der wichtigsten Konventionen bevorzugen offizielle Quellen; eine dualistische Konstruktion von Geschichten und Ereignissen über den Ablauf hinweg. Wenn man sie für die Darstellung von Konflikten verwendet, bringt jede von ihnen Leser und Publikum dazu-oder auch nicht-, gewaltsame, reaktive Antworten zu überbewerten und nicht-gewaltsame, entwicklungsartige Reaktionen zu unterbewerten. Produktionsstandards stehen in einem Spannungsverhältnis zu den klassischen Erwartungen des Journalismus. Diese sind in den Regulationen vieler Rechtssprechungen festgelegt, die ein staatliches Konzept für Radio und Fernsehen verfolgen und den Inhalt von Nachrichtensendungen bestimmen. In einigen Aspekten kann gezeigt werden, dass es Kriegsjournalismus für Nachrichtensendungen schwieriger macht, ihre öffentlichen Verpflichtungen zu erfüllen. Derzeit wächst ein Bewusstsein für die Spannung zwischen diesen beiden Begrenzungen für Journalismus und den Einfluss auf die Art, wie öffentliche Debatten geführt und mediiert werden. Mehr Friedensjournalismus würde dazu beitragen, die staatlichen Nachrichten wieder mit den berechtigten öffentlichen Erwartungen in Einklang zu bringen.
