Abstract
Although much has been written about the role of the news media within conflict situations, far less is known about the part played by reporting during a period of developing peace. This article approaches this question by looking at how the Irish government dealt with television news during the initial phases of the Northern Ireland peace process. In drawing from interviews carried out with key government representatives, it presents a picture of diverse strategies applied by the Irish in their efforts to push for peace and indicates how different communicative priorities came into play to meet varying problems and opportunities afforded by television news coverage.
