In Debates in Peace Journalism, Jake Lynch traces the major controversies in this emerging field – philosophical, pedagogical and professional – and links his own contributions to them with important new material. The book is intended for those wishing to immerse themselves in the main conceptual currents of peace journalism, and to navigate their own path around some of its rocks and shoals.

Jake Lynch is an associate professor of peace and conflict studies at the University of Sydney.
