Streets to Screens: Mediating Conflict Through Digital Networks

7th November 2014
Professor Stuart Hall Building, LG01

This one-day symposium will explore a number of key issues in mediating conflicts today, and will address some of the following questions:

  • What role do networked eyewitnesses, activists and citizen journalists play in conflict communication today? 
  • What are the challenges faced by those mediating conflict online?
  • In what ways are social media content produced within the zone of conflict shaping the coverage produced by news organisations?
  • What are the implications of these forms of reportage for eyewitnesses, activists, citizen journalists, perpetrators, NGOs, journalists, news media, audiences and global publics?

Stuart Allan, Cardiff University

Malachy Browne, Storyful

Lilie Chouliaraki, LSE
