Georgia Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map
Georgia Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is preparing sector assessments and road maps to help align future ADB support with the needs and strategies of developing member countries and other development partners. The transport sector assessment of Georgia is a working document that helps inform the development of country partnership strategy. It highlights the development issues, needs and strategic assistance priorities of the transport sector in Georgia. The knowledge product serves as a basis for further dialogue on how ADB and the government can work together to tackle the challenges of managing transport sector development in Georgia in the coming years. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.7 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 828 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. Georgia Transport Sector ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main Assessment, Strategy, instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance. and Road Map TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS.

THE ROLE of LOCAL MEDIA in PEACEBUILDING in NEPAL Luisa Caitlin Phillips Ryan a Thesis Submitted to the Facu
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository THE ROLE OF LOCAL MEDIA IN PEACEBUILDING IN NEPAL Luisa Caitlin Phillips Ryan A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s in Journalism and Mass Communication in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved By: Dr. Lucila Vargas Dr. Andrew Reynolds Dr. Anne Johnston ©2011 Luisa Caitlin Phillips Ryan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT LUISA RYAN: The Role of Local Media in Peacebuilding in Nepal (Under the direction of Dr. Lucila Vargas). Journalists are often severely impacted by armed conflict: they may be the victims of targeted violence or co‐opted by one side or another to spread partisan propaganda. In protracted conflicts, journalism training, financing and infrastructure may dry up completely, impacting the ability of community members to access information. Media development in post‐conflict settings has become a priority of funding bodies, as an independent fourth estate is believed to strengthen democratic mechanisms, and guard against a return to violence. The Nepal case study serves to explore how local media may interact with an evolving peace process, and what support the international community may be able to offer. Drawing upon grounded theory, this thesis presents the findings of fieldwork conducted in Nepal from December 2010 to January 2011. Thirty‐three in‐depth interviews were conducted in three key geo‐political locations. Core findings of this research reveal that the Nepalese media sector needs continuing support. -
Journalism Caught in Narrow Nationalism: the India-Pakistan Media War
Reuters Institute Fellowship Paper University of Oxford Journalism Caught in Narrow Nationalism: The India-Pakistan Media War by Dwaipayan Bose Hillary and Trinity Terms 2011 Sponsor: Thomson Reuters Foundation Acknowledgments In a profession marked by tight deadlines, breakneck speed, long hours, intense competition and pressure from both above and below, it is absolutely essential that one takes a break, rejuvenates the brain cells and finds out what’s happening to journalism across the world. In order to do that, one needs a helping hand, a catalyst. That, for me, has been the Thomson Reuters Foundation, my sponsor and the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, my place of study. I am deeply grateful to both for giving me the opportunity to spend six months in Oxford and absorb all that this great university town has to offer. Writing this paper, researching for it, studying at the Bodleian, attending seminars was an ‘Experience Extraordinary’. I am thankful to RISJ director Dr David Levy, head of the journalism fellowship programme James Painter, and director of journalism John Lloyd for structuring the fellowship in a way that left me intellectually stimulated and enlightened. Life and logistics were taken care of by RISJ administrator Sara Kalim, staffers Alex Reid, Kate Hanneford-Smith and Amanda Armstrong – all of whom were extremely kind and helpful. I can never thank Dr Daya Thussu, my guide, enough for the great interest and commitment with which he helped me navigate through this delicate subject. Senior journalists, editors of India, Pakistan and beyond have helped me, spoke to me and gave their frank and free views on the subject. -

In it, we put forward a definition that has been quoted in most subsequent published work in the field: Peace Journalism is when editors and reporters make choices – of what to report and how to report it – that create opportunities for society at large to consider and value nonviolent responses to conflict. (Lynch and McGoldrick, 2005: 5) This formula is deliberately non-specific on various salient issues. It contains no com- mitment to the type of conflict being reported, for example. A significant cross-section of research in PJ has concerned itself with the business of war reporting – that is, how jour- nalists respond to the ‘hot phase’ of a violent conflict (such as the articles collected in Ross and Tehranian, 2008). Both Blasi (2009) and Mogekwu (2011) argue that this phase of ‘manifest’ conflict offers, if anything, a less propitious milieu for the exertion of jour- nalistic agency implied in the definition, than the previous phase where conflict is ‘latent’ (p. -
