![New Media in Conflict
Throughout history, war has affected media, with conflict often creating an information void. In
the 21st century, media has begun to affect war more than ever before. Digital media
technologies [...] have increased communication and information dissemination in conflict settings
[...]. These new tools can be used to foment violence or to foster peace, and it is possible to build
communication systems that encourage dialogue and nonviolent political solutions.

- 2. What is GlobalVoices? Global Voices is a community of more than 300 bloggers and translators around the world who work together to bring readers reports from blogs and citizen media everywhere, with an emphasis on voices that are not ordinarily heard in the mainstream media. Global Voices is translated into more than 20 languages by volunteer translators, who have formed the Lingua project. Additionally, Global Voices has an Advocacy website and network to help people speak out online in places where their voices are censored. We also have an outreach project called Rising Voices to help marginalized communities use citizen media to be heard.
