Jake’s research focuses on peace journalism, exploring how media can actively promote conflict resolution rather than merely report on violence. His work examines the political economy of conflict, media ethics, and human rights advocacy, with applications in regions like the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. He has contributed to theoretical frameworks and practical training programs for journalists in conflict-affected societies.
The trends in his refereed articles highlight critical intersections of media ethics, counterterrorism, and peacebuilding. Topics include the role of ethical journalism in post-conflict reconstruction, the impact of media framing on public understanding of terrorism, and the development of peace journalism standards for global reporting.
