Abstract

“Global patriotism” as part of global media ethics is imbued with the values of social justice and human rights for all. In relation to media values and principles, it encourages media practitioners to surpass the traditional journalism models that have been parochial, nationalist, propagandist, and divisive. This chapter argues in favor of peace journalism as a broader, value-based journalism model for journalists to face the issues and concerns faced in the twenty-first century.Drawing on the frameworks, theories, and models provided by several scholars, the chapter argues that peace journalism can make significant contributions toward achieving the goals of global justice, equity, and human rights that are embedded in global patriotism. However, continuing to use the term “patriotism” is not without risks and challenges due to its inherent characteristics of exclusivity. Interviews with journalists and academics support the case for adopting a more inclusive term: namely “global inclusivity.” As an added moral value, it can provide impetus to journalists to demonstrate their renewed commitment to the world and its people on a broader canvas.
