News from the Holy Land
Theory and practice of reporting conflict
A PEACE JOURNALISM VIDEO

Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick

Journalists Jake Lynch and Annabel McGoldrick made this film in 2004 to help viewers analyse how conflict is reported. News from the Holy Land examines the way the Israeli-Palestine conflict is presented by the media, and shows different ways of reporting that help resolve, rather than escalate conflict.

The Video and Teaching Notes offer an invaluable resource for NGOs, peace groups, and school and university courses in journalism, media studies, politics and history. The authors run Peace Journalism seminars internationally.

Professor Greg Philo, Glasgow Media Group
