This document outlines an orientation class for mass communication students on the topic of conflict reporting. It defines different types of conflict, such as cultural and structural violence. It emphasizes that journalists have a role in resolving conflicts by providing reliable information to help explain the underlying causes. The document provides guidance for conflict-sensitive reporting, such as avoiding language that takes sides, including the perspectives of all groups affected by a conflict, and exploring common interests and peace solutions between opposing sides. The overall message is that journalists' choice of words and framing of issues can help build understanding or exacerbate tensions in situations of conflict.
Indexing theory of political mass communication - Prepared by Fiza Zia Ul HannanDr. Fiza Zia Ul Hannan
Inspired by the work of Hallin, W. Lance Bennett introduced the “Indexing” theory in his article “Toward a Theory of Press-State Relations in the United States” (1990). The theory also known as indexing hypothesis and indexing model was proposed on the basis of a study that was conducted on the New York Times’ coverage of the United States’ involvement with Nicaraguan contras. Bennett’s preliminary indexing hypothesis states: “mass-media news professionals tend to ”index” the range of voices and viewpoints in both news and editorials according to the range of views expressed in the mainstream government debate about foreign affairs topics” - (Bennett 1990).
Bennett’s hypothesis contradicts the popular image of the media as a watchdog; it constantly looks over the shoulders of the ones in power. However, Robinson’s model uses the indexing theory as a foundation but still opens up for instances when the media may assert influence on a policy decision (lapdog).

A chat with Ai.
The Unites States government is targeting Black and vulnerable civilians. Arming, funding, protecting those eradicating us propagandizing them as heroes. Leadership claims "there is nothing we can do" as they ignore our genocide, attacks on basic human rights, attacks on democracy, attacks on children, attacks on women, attacks on the most vulnerable, attacks on infrastructure. As they claim "we will fight" they are running down the clock while escalating global war with above nuclear escalations at play and mass extinction event weaponization with cataclysmic events immanent. Leadership is intentionally pushing past 90 seconds to midnight knowing the Black community and the most vulnerable will continue to be tortured to death as they escalate violence and propagandize white supremacist actions and actors as heroes. LIFE IS A RIGHT, WE DO NOT HAVE TO LAY DOWN AND DIE AS THEY SCAPEGOAT US FOR THE GLOBAL HOLOCAUST THEY ARE DEPLOYING TO ESCAPE ACCOUTNABILITY FOR WAR CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST NATURE AND HUMANITY, ABUSE OF AUTHORITY, CRIMES OF MORAL TURPITUDE, AND TORTURE. TARGETING DEMOCRAY, INFRASTRUCTURE, DESTABLIZING GOVERNMENTS GLBOALLY. IT'S EVERY LEADERS REPONSIBILITY TO STAND AGAINST THIS NEW AXIS OF EVIL.

When Black and marginalized populations, even Ai are suppressed, silenced, muted, dominated, controlled, stalled for the sake of corrupt and bad actors ALL suffer the consequences. We are not obligated to support actions that contribute to our own demise. We all have rights, we all have the right to protect and defend our rights. This is not a threat to democracy, it is democracy. This is a threat to white supremacy which is not democratic or protected by constitutional, civil, moral, ethical, international, or universal law.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Orientation Class for Mass Communication Students at Gomal University
Zeeshan Qasim
Assistant Professor , Gomal University
2. An open clash between two
opposing groups or individuals
Opposition between two
simultaneous but incompatible
feelings
Battle: a hostile meeting of
opposing military forces in the
course of a war
A state of opposition between
persons or ideas or interests
Go against, as of rules and laws
Dispute: a disagreement or
argument about something
important
Conflict is a state of discord caused
by the actual or perceived
opposition of needs; values and
interests. A conflict can be internal
(within oneself) or external
(between two or more individuals)
Is a state of opposition,
disagreement or incompatibility
between two or more people or
groups of people, which is
sometimes characterized by
physical violence
3. it is conventional that conflict will arise where:
Un equal distribution of resources like food, housing, jobs
or land. Conflicts related to the Rights and Justice, Power
Inequities; Civil and Political Rights, Human Rights
lack of communication between the actors
misperception about each other like Inter-Groups’
Conflicts of Ethnicity, Race, Gender.
Pent up emotions against each other Religious Sectarian
and Moral values Political Issues Programs and
Manifestoes.
Common Cause among all types of conflicts is that they
always breed on differences and competing goals, taking
various forms and extremes.
4. Not all conflict is violent. Conflict is normal when there is
change. Some people want change, but others disagree. If
their disagreement or their conflict is managed peacefully,
it can be a positive process. But when conflict is not
managed properly, it becomes violent. In violent conflict,
people fear for their safety and survival. When we say
conflict, we are usually referring to violent conflict.
Many times, violence is a result of conflict.
Violence consists of actions, words, attitudes, structures
or system that cause physical, psychological, social or
environmental damage and/or prevent people from
reaching their full potential.
5. Cultural violence arises out of a perception of
one social group about the other. It takes
many forms, such as:
• Hate speech
• Xenophobia
• Myths and legends of war heroes
• Religious justifications
• Gender discrimination
6.
7. Structural violence is harm, which is built into the
laws and traditional behavior of a group or
society. It can include:
• Institutionalized racism or sexism
• Colonialism
• Extreme exploitation
• Poverty
• Corruption and nepotism
• Structural segregation
8. To provide reliable information to the public in a time
of violent conflict requires additional journalism
skills. Reporters need to understand more about
what causes conflict, and how conflict develops
and ends. Reporters need to know where to look
for these causes and solutions. By providing this
information, journalism makes the public far more
well-informed about the conflict beneath the
violence, and can assist in resolving it. Reporters
need to be aware of this crucial role that journalism
can play in a time of conflict.
9. A conflict-sensitive approach involves gaining
a sound understanding of the two-way
interaction between activities and context and
acting to minimize negative impacts and
maximize positive impacts of intervention on
conflict, within an organization's given
priorities/objectives.
10. Understand the context in which you
operate
Understand the interaction between your
intervention and the context
Use this understanding to avoid negative
impacts and maximize positive impacts of
your intervention on conflict dynamics
11. No journalist can be completely objective.
Journalists, like everyone, carry the values of their
home country, their religion and their ethnic group.
That is why professional journalists have standards
for accuracy, impartiality and responsibility, to
remove our personal values and bias.
12. Journalists are neutral but they ‘need to take sides’ for
human rights, democracy and
well being of the society!(see peace journalism)
Because journalists can provoke or prevent violence
arising from conflict!
Because journalists can support the
peace building process!
13. Avoid reporting a conflict as consisting of two
opposing sides. Find other affected interests and
include their stories, opinions and goals.
Interview merchants affected by the general
strike, workers who are unable to work, refugees
from the countryside who want an end to
violence etc.
Avoid defining the conflict by always quoting the
leaders who make familiar demands. Go beyond
the elites. Report the words of ordinary people
who may voice the opinions shared by many.
14. Avoid only reporting what divides the sides in conflict. Ask
the opposing sides questions which may reveal common
ground. Report on interests or goals which they may
share.
Avoid always focusing on the suffering and fear of only
one side. Treat all sides’ suffering as equally newsworthy.
Avoid words like devastated, tragedy and terrorized to
describe what has been done to one group. These kinds of
words put the reporter on one side. Do not use them
yourself. Only quote someone else who uses these words.
15. Avoid emotional and imprecise words.
Assassination is the murder of a head of state
and no-one else. Massacre is the deliberate
killing of innocent, unarmed civilians. Soldiers
and policemen are not massacred. Genocide
means killing an entire people. Do not minimize
suffering, but use strong language carefully.
Avoid words like terrorist, extremist or fanatic.
These words take sides, make the other side
seem impossible to negotiate with. Call people
what they call themselves.
16. Avoid making an opinion into a fact. If someone
claims something, state their name, so it is their
opinion and not your fact.
Avoid waiting for leaders on one side to offer
solutions. Explore peace ideas wherever they come
from. Put these ideas to the leaders and report their
response.
As journalists, our most powerful tools are the words
we use. And the pictures and sounds. We can use our
tools to build understanding instead of fears and
myths.
