Macedonia, in Burundi and in the DRC. Major topics which were also addressed include the role of NGOs in conflict news reporting, the role of new media in conflict-related news, how the general public views the media in war zones, the impact of gender on conflict news and its coverage, and specific policy implications of the INFOCORE research.
