Changes in global journalism are reflected in myriad cross-national professionalization efforts, including the development and exportation of models for journalism practice. Literature on peace journalism, for instance, suggests that its adaptation across contexts is shaped by forces on several levels, including the influence of individual media practitioners. However, little research examines those likely to practice peace journalism nor the implications of these social profiles on the diffusion of the model more broadly. Drawing on field theory and 20 in-depth interviews with East African journalists conducted between 2020 and 2021, this study explores such questions by identifying shared dimensions of position and habitus across those who attend peace journalism trainings. Findings suggest that these individuals tend to be well educated, share common experiences with conflict, and hold similar interventionist role conceptions. Such findings illuminate the types of social transformations peace journalism may undergo as it is adapted across contexts, with implications for journalism theory and practice.

描绘和平记者：对社会概况和专业模特传播的考察


全球新闻业的变化反映在无数的跨国专业化努力中，包括新闻实践模式的开发和输出。例如，关于和平新闻的文献表明，它在不同语境中的适应是由几个层面的力量塑造的，包括个体媒体从业者的影响。然而，很少有研究考察那些可能从事和平新闻的人，以及这些社会概况对更广泛地传播该模型的影响。本研究借鉴了田野理论和 2020 年至 2021 年间对东非记者的 20 次深入采访，通过确定参加和平新闻培训的人的共同位置和习惯维度来探讨这些问题。研究结果表明，这些人往往受过良好的教育，在冲突方面有共同的经历，并持有类似的干预主义角色概念。这些发现阐明了和平新闻在适应不同背景时可能经历的社会转型类型，对新闻理论和实践产生影响。
