JOURNALISM IN THE ARMED CONFLICT OF THE 21ST CENTURY
BETWEEN NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND PERPETUAL THREATS
Keywords:
Conflicto armado, corresponsal de guerra, medios de comunicación, información, libertad de expresión, periodista, protección de civiles.Abstract
what is known as war reporting, one of the most bona fi de media formats,
is changing as contemporary armed confl ict evolves. as always,
the main task of journalists continues to be that of informing, yet now
new digital tools allow for diff erent ways of reporting the news and help
their messages to have unprecedented eff ects in terms of dissemination
and infl uence both on public opinion and within international organisations
themselves, who have recognised the usefulness represented
by the information provided by war correspondents, including for the
performance of their own work. all of this has a direct consequence:
that of a parallel increase in threats to the safety of those who report.
Th e Un security council recalls that the issue of journalist protection
has been stalled for a decade since it approved resolution 1738, which
for the fi rst time was explicitly dedicated to this matter, and warns
about the lack of commitment shown by states in order to avoid casualties
amongst reporters. given this situation, it is necessary to refl ect
upon what journalism may do to protect international peace, and what
international organisations may also do in order to protect journalists.
