An aspect of peace journalism includes localization of knowledge and even media.
Though it was not applied to media directly, regionalization was a key topic in the Fes council discussions in Morocco, and it was applicable for local knowledge as well as a small-scale version of globalization.
The council members said regionalization of change and social movement requires courage and dedication to thoroughly research the culture of the area, plan the appropriate structure for that culture and also to attempt to unite the multiple regional cultures under one purpose.
The range of differences in social and political structure is the main challenge. How do you unite various groups when there is such diversity? Also, how do you have time or resources to tailor plans for each local region?
Though taxing, it is the most efficient and mindful way to approach social change in the 21st century, whether its on regional levels in Morocco or nations across the globe.
There cannot be a cookie-cutter plan that is the same for each place. There must be specific models and policies to apply for both successful implementation and also preservation of culture authenticity.
In Sinharaja Tammita-Delgoda’s lecture in Sri Lanka, he pulled from Friedman and said the shapes of souls are what define different nations.
To aid these various molds in development and democratic change, there must be an exchange of information both from authorities or researchers as well as the local group.
Not only does the lifestyle and mindset of the multiple places need to be understood and threaded into the planning, but there is also a need for disconnected regions to have access to information needed as to how to handle what will happen or to understand what is being implemented.
If this approach can succeed in regions in Morocco, why could it not be applied on a grander scale?
It is critical to understand people and their society before changing any part of it. It ensures success with their structure and also preserves the uniqueness of it.
This ties in with peace journalism in a few nodes.
First is the necessity of local knowledge of the area or conflict one is reporting from. Next is the relation of solution proposals through reports. The solutions offered should be applicable to the area through the eyes of the locals, for they know better than outsiders what would work best for their people.
The preservation aspect also plays in, because it is critical for international journalists in general not to exploit the wide range of customs but also, especially, not bunch them under one cultural umbrella.
That is a challenge when writing from a narrowed locale for foreign audiences is readers may read that specific story then use it as a generalization for the entire nation. There would be a cry for an explanation as to what is the norm of the national culture in contrast or parallel to the local region.
