DISCUSSION Question(s) related to this article: Do the mass media give any attention to the culture of peace?, or just to the culture of war? * * * * * Latest reader comment: The articles from Africa describe good examples, among the rare ones, of media attention to the culture of peace.  Not by accident that it is in Africa.  In fact, the countries of the North have traditionally tried to keep the countries of the South from having their own media.  For some history, see the history of UNESCO's attempt to aid the media of the South.
