>include, for example, the role of media in the 
>nation and state-building process, the 
>consolidation of political power, reconciliation 
>(or its failure) and conflict/post-conflict situations.

>Also to be examined is why particular media 
>systems develop the way they do­how leaders, 
>journalists and cultural systems shape the media.
