ABSTRACT
Since the United Nations began including radio stations as part of their peacekeeping efforts in the early 1990s, more than a dozen have been established. There have been a number of individual case studies, but very little research has been done that brings them together; or that examines the idea, the reality, of such efforts at a conceptual level. What is the objective of these stations? What is their raison d’être, and can we place them squarely in the field of media development? This chapter looks at the changing face of UN peacekeeping media and its possible future.
