"This guidebook examines the interrelationship of media and conflicts and was conducted for broadcasters, especially presenters, who work in regions where there are violent conflicts. It aims to give examples and tools for talkshows which contribute to peace, and is structured in three greater parts: 1. Explanations of 'conflict' and of the different kinds of violence (ie, physical, cultural and structural) 2. Definitions and examples for talkshows and the different formats commonly used (face to face, roundtable, phone-in) 3. Notes on issues and practices, discussing questions like: how to talk about taboo subjects, how to deal with hate speech, accusation, censorship or even extremely sensitive issues like genocide, and how to seek the common ground of conflicting parties? Moreover, the manual contains a planning checklist and suggestions for conflict mapping in order to gain a better understanding of the conflict, and it shows the differences between peace and conflict-oriented talkshows."
