Peace And Conflict Journalism Network



Welcome to the Peace and Conflict Journalism Network!
PECOJON is an international network of journalists who work in, with, and about, conflict.
The members are print, radio and broadcast journalists, journalism teachers and students as well as writers and filmmakers who have committed themselves to solidarity and networking for a constructive conflict reporting.
The network is a platform for investigation and practical support but also base for common projects, trainings and discussion.
PECOJON has started as a Philippine-German partnership and fast grew into an international network with members from all over the world.
We believe…
A strong, free and independent media is the voice of the people, the eye of justice the midwife of truth the librarian of the past the memory of the present and the protector of the future.
We believe…
Conflict is a natural part of life a situation of change a chance for development a challenge for humanity a time to grow and to push the borders of journalism to prevent violence to rebuild relationships and to open up space for peace and reconciliation.
Therefore…
We commit ourselves to the principles of Peace Journalism to Active Non-Violence to solidarity and networking to creativity for transformation and to a responsible journalism
