Media-Broker Diplomacy
MBD is the involvement of journalists in international conflict resolution. Journalists are now taking on direct and indirect mediation responsibilities in complex international conflicts as a result of the information and communication revolution.
MBD presents a conceptual model that applies theories and models from both negotiation and communication. Each variant of the model—direct intervention, bridging, and secret mediation— contributes to conflict resolution in a different way.
The model also includes three parameters: action, initiation, and consequences.
