This comprehensive collection examines the complex relationship between media and conflict across diverse Asian contexts, offering critical insights into how news coverage shapes public understanding of violence, protest, and social tensions.From domestic violence reporting in China to the framing of political upheaval in Iran, the six research studies reveal how media narratives both reflect and influence conflict dynamics across the region. The volume demonstrates how different media systems- from hyperlocal digital platforms in India to international news outlets covering Kazakhstan- employ distinct framing strategies that impact audience perceptions and policy responses. It analyses the role of technology in conflict reporting, examines accessibility challenges for persons with disabilities in media consumption, and explores how digital stressors affect contemporary news engagement. Each study employs rigorous methodological approaches including comparative content analysis and validation of measurement instruments.This work is essential reading for postgraduate courses in media studies, international relations, and Asian studies programmes, providing both theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence for understanding media's role in contemporary conflicts. This book was originally published as a special issue of Media Asia.
