Paper on How and When to Use Media in Peacebuilding

Recently, I co-wrote a paper on the use of media for peacebuilding. The paper is written for Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) and it sets out how a civil society organization working in the field of conflict prevention and peacebuilding should deal and interact with the media. The paper maps what the difficulties are for civil society talking to the media, and what skills or knowledge they should acquire to overcome these obstacles.  It can be found here.
