Peace journalism is a new perspective of journalism. The idea is to tell the story as you, the photojournalist, views the actual events. It is to be objective, and clear in your shots to generate the truth in the news in an ethical manner.
Peace journalism allows the reader to come to their own conclusions regarding current events without the tainted reporting views.
Susan developed a citizen identity workshop for those who are in conflict to help generate individual and community identity, because in conflict, cultural heritage and community placement becomes in the background of ones' life. In turn, this encourages self-reflection and individual and community placement in the mist of a crisis. This concept is one for providing a tool for the individuals themselves to express their voice to the outside world, rather than the journalist expressing it for them. To view field notes from her recent workshop in the West Bank , see her website at: www.crossingborders.blogspot.com
If anyone is interested in one of Susan's workshops, she will be happy to answer any questions or provide a custom workshop for groups of five through ten. Requests will be answered with a detailed PDF. File about the available workshops.
