Welcome
to the Center
We live in a time of unparalleled conflict at the local, national, and international levels − ethnic conflict, social conflict, interpersonal conflict, the list goes on. The media and the law have a vital role to play as conflict unfolds, each having a unique capacity to define, escalate, or resolve conflict.
The Center for the Study of Conflict, Law and the Media at the University of Missouri is a collaboration between the Missouri School of Journalism and School of Law that seeks greater understanding of the relationship between media, law, and conflict.
Through research, teaching initiatives and public service programs, we aim to enhance media's capacity to inform the rule of law and the constructive resolution of conflict. We also seek to support media protections to assure the flow of information that is crucial in a free society.
These goals are meant to nurture and promote the Center's central mission: To foster a better understanding of the experience, reporting and management of conflict, and its impact on law and democracy in the United States and abroad.
