ABSTRACT
The following Peace Journalism Insights blog was written in 2012 by Steven Youngblood.
The upheaval in Syria has left journalists questioning the wisdom of their traditional beliefs.
Syria presents the ultimate conundrum for a peace journalist dedicated to giving peacemakers a voice, avoiding inflammatory language and sensational images, and framing stories so that they do not encourage violence. In the case of Syria, however, even a peace journalist would have to acknowledge that violence, even war, may be the only way to achieve regime change in Syria.
