ABSTRACT
Studies on conflict, peace and the media inevitably focus their attention on situations in which the media has chosen to direct its attention. But it is also vital to consider the failure of the media in the outside world to cover conflicts and peace processes. From this perspective, this chapter examines two issues. The first is the perceived tendency of the media to turn its attention away from conflicts when the violence phase comes to an end. The second deals with the yawning gap between the haves and have-nots of the coverage of conflict and their peace processes.
