Anyone who be l ieves that a l l c i t i zen media are ob ject ive and impar t ia l i s
either mad or hasn't actual ly read any cit izen media. […] What 's
become ver y d i f f i cu l t i s us ing c i t i zen media to under stand what ' s actua l ly happening on the ground. As we a l l know, some of the repor ts f rom both camps in the South Osset ian conf l i c t were l i ke ly manufactured and
inaccur ate . This sort of s ituat ion can get even more complicated
when there aren't impartia l journal ists on the ground.

MEDIA & CONFLICT-REPORTING[…] people are often inclined to consider their existing attitudes and
beliefs to be true and filter the news through this lens. Thus, they accept
messages in order to maintain their original perceptions. […] bias in the
local media [...] ser ves as a means to fuel and perpetuate hatred. This is
a role the media has and continues to play with regards to the conflict
over Nagorno Karabakh. !!ARMENIAN AND AZERBAIJANI INTERNATIONAL NEWS COVERAGE,
