Peace Journalism is a form of journalism Journalism is the production of news reports and editorials through media such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television and the Internet. Journalists—be they writers, editors, photographers, broadcast presenters or producers—serve as the main purveyors of information and opinion in contemporary society that frames stories in a way that encourages conflict Conflict is actual or perceived opposition of needs, values and interests. A conflict can be internal or external (between two or more individuals). Conflict as a concept can help explain many aspects of social life such as social disagreement, conflicts of interests, and fights between individuals, groups, or organizations. In political terms, & analysis and a non-violent Nonviolence is a philosophy and strategy for social change that rejects the use of physical violence. As such, nonviolence is an alternative to passive acceptance of oppression and armed struggle against it. Practitioners of nonviolence may use diverse methods in their campaigns for social change, including critical forms of education and response.
According to its leading theoreticians and exponents, Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick, peace journalism is when editors and reporters make choices – about what to report, and how to report it – that create opportunities for society at large to consider and to value non-violent responses to conflict.

Variant uses of the term refer to the destruction of non-living objects . Worldwide, violence is used as a tool of manipulation and also is an area of concern for law and culture who take attempts to suppress and stop it, as they bear upon the lives of people in a conflict arena, as part of the explanation for violence. It aims to frame conflicts as consisting of many parties, pursuing many goals, rather than a simple dichotomy The two parts thus formed are complements. In logic, the partitions are opposites if there exists a proposition such that it holds over one and not the other. An explicit aim of peace journalism is to promote peace initiatives from whatever quarter, and to allow the reader to distinguish between stated positions and real goals.
Peace journalism is a response to traditional war journalism and reportage News is the communication of information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience; practitioners believe that the traditional approach emphasises the current conflict while ignoring the causes or outcomes.
