"This report [...] recommends that interveners take the following series of steps as they generate a strategy for media development in post-conflict zones.
Predeployment Phase: Mapping and Strategizing: map out the existing media landscape; identify the postwar condition of the media infrastructure, media personnel, and other resources that have survived the conflict; assess the history of state-media relations; analyze the potential market for sustainable media; create a strategy for developing media; coordinate all relevant players in media development; identify spoilers and create a plan to isolate extremist voices while elevating moderate ones; plan to establish a responsible media sector before the first postwar elections are held.
Deployment Phase: Building and Developing: build a foundation for the media sector; establish a mission-owned outlet to monitor and counter hate speech while promoting peace operations; create a representative media commission to establish media standards; create legal underpinnings for media during the transition or help the government to do so; create media outlets and develop personnel; encourage creation of a diverse array of media outlets and ensure media accessibility by different segments of the population; establish effective on-the-job training programs and mechanisms for evaluating trainees and university-based training programs; create local associations of journalists, publishers, and editors to strengthen leadership and connect local media actors to international media networks.
Exit Phase: Transitioning and Sustaining: transition to local control and ensure long-term sustainability; gradually give full control to local media leaders; ensure a robust media market in which private outlets are self-sustaining; create an indigenous mechanism to continue monitoring hate speech."
