The way media cover conflict has an impact on conflict itself. Like everyone else, warlords in Mogadishu listen to the radio, the Pentagon watches CNN and Arab policy makers watch Al Jazeera. Newspapers in Abidjan whip up emotions in the midst of the civil war; whilst in Sri Lanka the press is as much a part of the problem as a solution. The Serbian media did much to drive home this point, as did Radio Tlvision Libre des Mille Collines in Rwanda, which is often referred to as one of the most horrific misuses of ’media’ in recent times.
