In democratic countries the media is often viewed as the „fourth power“ to illustrate its strong position next to the legislative, the executive and the judiciary powers. In this seminar we will discuss in how far the media can contribute to bringing peace in times of war or conflict and what challenges the media does face in conflict zones. Observer, activist, target? The media takes on various roles in conflicts. Furthermore we want to elaborate the role of the social media technology in organizing peaceful protests and defend democracy on the one hand. On the other hand the misuse of social media will be reviewed in terms of radicalization and violence through disinformation campaigns.
