Title

Role of South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA) in Indo-Pak Peace Building

Authors

Abstract

The prevailing situation in sub-continent demands that media in both India and Pakistan to move away from “war journalism” to “peace journalism”, from a dichotomous perspective rooted in a zero-sum game expressed through personalization and dramatization of the new to a de-polarization of the regional understanding. For its part, the media in sub-continent needs to commit to news coverage that is framed in a context of engagement, not disengagement, with society across the border in educational, cultural, commercial, diplomatic, scientific, and artistic pursuits. This involves a conscious and conscientious move away from making the adversary a different entity through de-humanization. This needs journalists on both sides to adopt a strategy that moves from “arming” themselves by the conflict discourse to “disarming” others across the fence through construct communication. This requires a decisive shift from the gladiator syndrome of the projection of power in the conflict to a quest for the common ground, underscored by “de-demonization”. In other words, the coverage of conflict must not become an abetment of conflict. The sports-oriented coverage of conflict conceived in terms of victory and defeat represents lopsided truth by taking out a few selected slices of the visible reality on the ground, leaving a grand, invisible, infrastructural but non-earthshaking reality. This paper aims to present the view that India and Pakistan can take the initiative in establishing dialogue across the border beyond the “classical indexing model” whereby the media merely reflects the elitist discourse rooted in a combative framework of policy and profile. In this context, the paper tries to locate the role of South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA) as a platform and agency of free media as a bridge to this process.
