Webinar series focuses on making PJ attractive to audiences
Interested in learning more about peace journalism and its impact? You have a great opportunity to do this thanks to George Washington University's Media and Peacebuilding Project, which is launching a webinar series beginning next Wednesday.

The webinars will run every week for the next six weeks, will "bring together researchers and practitioners from around the world to better understand how to make peace journalism more attractive to audiences," according to GWU.

Session 1 on Feb. 28 will center on discussions about PJ research, will feature, among others, PJ pioneer Dr. Jake Lynch. I will be presenting during session 2 ("Findings from Peace Journalism Practice") on March 6. Jamil Simon, founder of  War Stories Peace Stories, and Vanessa Bassil, founding director of the Media Association for Peace in Lebanon, will join me on the panel.

Later sessions will focus on solutions journalism, constructive journalism, and PJ in the global South.

Admission to all Zoom sessions is free. You can learn more about the webinar series here. You can register for session 1 using this link
