Journalism as Transitional Justice: Generating the Bosnia War Crimes and Genocide Media Archive
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Emma Smith’s capstone project consisted of building a media archive documenting human rights violations during the Bosnian War from 1992-1995, often considered the deadliest conflict in Europe since WWII. Her project centered around highlighting the critical role journalism played in alerting the global public of the crisis, with war reporters and photojournalists broadcasting live –– for the first time in history –– war crimes in Europe. She worked with the Srebrenica Memorial Center (MC) and the Post-Conflict Research Center (PCRC) to propose a project that would document, collect, digitize, recognize, and celebrate the work of international journalists who brought vast awareness to the suffering of Bosnian citizens from 1992 to 1995. For her final deliverable, Emma submitted a preliminary database of the digitized “archive,” annotated with comments and personal reflections on trends identified while collecting research materials. She hopes this project will inform historical narratives of the past and help engage citizens in discussions relating to transitional justice, memorialization, and genocide prevention in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region at large.
