War journalism is particularly important in holding to account those who use organised violence against others and in recognising people鈥檚 suffering.

In this free public lecture and Q&A, Te Whare W膩nanga o Waitaha听 蜜桃儿直播 (UC) Media and Communication discusses how global journalism could do a better job of telling the stories of war today, including the major wars being fought against Ukraine and Gaza, but also a host of other conflicts, from West Papua to Yemen.

To address that question, he will use ethical frameworks, to help step back from competing ideologies about whose view is 鈥榬ight鈥� on any particular conflict.

鈥淭hat involves asking what journalism about war does when it is at its best, given the huge pressures on it,鈥� Professor Matheson says. 鈥淲hat can we expect of these professional tourists on war and suffering and what should the profession expect of itself?鈥�

His public lecture, held at UC鈥檚 Ilam campus on Wednesday 18 September, will use ideals of global justice and mutual understanding to offer some suggestions.

鈥淕ood journalism,鈥� he suggests, 鈥渋nvolves valuing parts of the war correspondent tradition that put those who are suffering at the centre of the story. It involves working with those inside conflict zones to amplify their perspectives and understanding, so that people outside the zone can encounter those others as ordinary people.鈥�

Best practice media coverage of war also involves journalism joining coalitions of civil society, building solidarity with others and championing values, Professor Matheson says. He will also reflect on the implications of these ways of working for journalism鈥檚 historic claim be an independent observer to war.
