Comments on the Seminar given by Cynthia Boaz.
In this seminar we were introduced to the way non-violent struggles are represented in the media. The Mass Media are a key part in the modern world for creating what we consider a Culture of Peace. In this way, usually for the Mass Media are not worthwhile to be reported or if so, their representation is as unaccountable and ineffective movements.
Otherwise, these movements might be represented as not so non-violent, taking out their credibility and usually taking out credit to their aims and means. That is why it is necessary to carry out a selection of the information we get in terms of conflicts and their resolution and rely on the information provided by alternative media.
Some of the alternative Media resources related to conflicts commented in the seminar and others I can recommend are the following:
Democracy Now
If Americans Knew
Aljazeera
Common Ground News Service
Corresponsal de Paz (in Spanish)
Peace News
Non-Aligned News Network
