This book is about journalism in conflict societies. Focusing on journalism in Cyprus, it aims to better understand how journalists renegotiate their roles and responsibilities in conflict and post-conflict societies. In Cyprus, journalism has navigated through the pressures and challenges of inter-communal and political tensions. The book outlines a historical context of the conflict, also known as the Cyprus problem, and discusses the news media's involvement. However, the primary concern is journalists' perceptions of their professional roles and external forces affecting their work. It examines the impact of political, economic and organisational influences, media ownership and technological developments on their work through interviews conducted with journalists. It studies professional and ethical challenges that journalists experience, especially when reporting on issues concerning inter-communal relations. Finally, it explores the impact of digital media on journalism and the public debate of the Cyprus problem.
