The PIPS evaluates the role of media very important due to its innate potential for contributing to conflict resolution, de-radicalization and democratization. The PIPS focus on Pakistani media has two elements. First to carry out research studies on role, capacity and narratives of media, putting more emphasis on journalists and media representatives, and secondly to engage media persons in debates and conduct training workshops with them with an aim to improve their understanding of the conflicts and issues and bridge their capacity gaps.
The PIPS worked extensively with Pakistani media persons and journalists to generate awareness on radicalization. A series of PIPS media workshops during 2008 was successfully managed where journalists, particularly from conflict zones, were told about the PIPS research findings on radicalization and were encouraged to share their views on the issue. At the same time the Institute has been engaging FM radio channels, particularly in conflict zones, to create awareness about peace, and also plans to hold training workshops with radio journalists.
