Abstract
For most journalists, reporting on conflict is not a special situation governed by a unique set of rules. The situation is, in fact, quite the reverse: reporting on political, economic and other collisions of interests within a society is very much a part of the journalist’s everyday routine. Conflicts are, after all, part of daily life in a democracy. Subsequently, the absence of reports in the media on conflicts would suggest that democracy itself has been lost.
