Description	The chapter revisits Galtung's (2002) peace journalism model and asks whether it can make any difference at all in the hybrid culture that has arisen through the combination of new wars and the war on terror. A historical analysis focusing on security policy changes in Norway and Sweden from the Cold War geopolitics to the new wars shows how the conditions for journalism to conduct peace journalism vary over time and with changing security policies. This shows how the great shortfall in journalism is its capacity to provide a critical and investigative reporting that can inform the general public about the risks and contingent insecurities of participation in old and new wars. Galtung's original proposal and later versions of peace journalism therefore need to be further elaborated in the historical context of the global war on terror and new wars. While part of the Galtung model is still relevant and important, the main point of the model may, however, be less relevant, if controlling the narrative and letting the war continue has become a goal in itself and defeats “the win” position in Galtung's analysis. The chapter focuses on the historical and societal context in which peace journalism is intended to work, and whether it provides room for what we define as “sustainable conflict journalism”.
