An open and inclusive media system is vital to conflict management. The media play a pivotal role as a conduit for dialogue among dissenting parties and as a purveyor of critical information about available services or potential threats that might make the difference between life and death for those living in conflict environments. In order to improve policymaking and usefully guide future programs, we must continually strive to improve media programs designed to achieve these objectives. Implementers, donors, and methodologists alike need to provide better support for evaluation in order to expand knowledge about what the media can and cannot achieve in conflict environments.
