| Summary: | This article reflects on efforts to identify evidence about the role of media in fragile
states. It explores and compares findings from two research projects and focuses on some of the
lessons that have emerged from these exercises as well as on the relevance of the findings for media
development. While we know that media matters in areas such as conflict, reconciliation and
peacebuilding, neither of the reviews of the literature found substantial evidence supporting some
of the widespread claims about the importance of media, suggesting how elusive this evidence can
be. |
