Article XIX: "War of Words: Conflict and Freedom of Expression in South Asia"
"In conflict-ridden countries, freedom of expression is commonly assumed to be one of the first casualties as opposing sides seek to control or manipulate information to meet their political goals. But the difficult questions of how the media should balance "national security concerns" with the need to report critically, and how governments should respect international free expression standards while combating terrorism, has not been given much in-depth analysis."
"The IFEX member has published a new study that analyses three countries - India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. It finds that media reporting in these countries is often polarised along political, ethnic or religious lines, and that media ownership is seen by opposing sides as a key element in gaining control of information flows. It also finds that restrictions on free expression during conflict have a disproportionately adverse effect on women."
