The media plays a critical role in how parties in conflict view one another, understand their respective situations, and ultimately work to either further the goals of peace or inflame conflict. We can learn from the Appeal Foundation which have a long history of promoting media as a tool for conflict resolution, beginning with the work of the Media Peace Centre in South Africa throughout the 1990′s, and continuing to this day in the design and production of online and broadcast content, as well as educational curricula for young people around the globe.
