What is your view on conflict reporting?
Conflict reporting is part of strategic communication modelling. Conflict divides society, and reporting it means that you are trying to stand between communities that are decided. To that extent, it is considered to be a delicate and specialised area. To report a divided society, you have to do things that do not make you look as if you are siding with the parties. It is actually difficult for you to divide three persons into two. You have to cut one get the second half. Conflict reporting is the most difficult aspect of journalism. Therefore, anybody venturing into that terrain must be well trained and have the right type of education, skills, and passion for the job. You must have gone to the university to acquire knowledge in your specialised area, but that does not make the person a good conflict manager.
