Peace Journalism in the Democratisation Process of Cameroon; 1990-2010

As the world keep facing conflicts, and most often violent conflicts, the role of the journalists move from that of a simple bystander to an active actor for pacific change. It becomes incumbent on the journalists to strategically communicate for Peace and Development-this we call Peace Journalism. This book explores how involved was the Cameroonian Peace Journalist in 20 years of democratic mutation; moving from the very violent ghost-town days of the early 1990s to the less violent years of 2000s. This book is recommended for media and communication students, conflict and Peace studies students. It will also be good for journalists and communicators who are already in the field including workers of Peace.
