"[This chapter] primarily devotes analytical attention to mainstream news media's ability, or rather lack of ability, to report violations against international public law in the context of war and conflict reporting, and their continuing vulnerability to propaganda and manipulation. In the introduction, the authors suggest a definition of "sustainable war journalism" which, among other things, involves "media's ability to provide citizens with reliable, objective news from multiple sources," as well as to "promote free speech and access to public information within a context of changing legal and social norms." Different forms of shortcomings in war journalism are discussed in relation to several military conflicts, stretching from the Gulf War (1990-91) to the Libyan War (2013) and the ongoing Syrian War. They emphasize the importance of integrating and addressing international public law in journalism education programs around the world. Only this can engender a sustainable journalism and prevent it making the same errors again and again." (Page xxxi)
