Abstract
The media is one of the most important elements of communication or information.
Media have this perverse fascination with war and violence; they also neglect the peace forces at work. Galtung says of course, some of this is the result of governmentalism, the fascination with power in addition to violence. How about some fascination with peace? And with people? How about giving them more voice?
As the media work, they amplify the sound of the guns rather than muting them. Is this because we have the media we deserve? Hardly, it is more because the people who run them are badly trained, not the patient, lone-term work of thousands, millions of citizens.
