Democracy depends on the stories we tell.
Support journalists reporting on solutions, not just conflict.
Peace efforts are invisible in the news media.
We want to change that.
Making Peace Visible connects peacebuilders with journalists, digital content creators, and technology experts to amplify peace efforts—making them more visible, better understood, and more supported.

On the Podcast:
Learning from Western news media's mistakes in Afghanistan
with Bette Dam
In light of US missile strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and subsequent retaliation in an escalating regional conflict, we're revisiting one of our best episodes -- on how Western media covers war.
Bringing journalists and peacebuilders
together
MPV was founded by Jamil Simon, peace activist, filmmaker, and winner of the Luxembourg Peace Prize, to help challenge the prevailing narrative of conflict in today’s news cycles.
Our Goals
To improve the overall public narrative about peace
To expand global coverage of peace and reconciliation efforts in the media
To inspire a wider range of approaches to conflict reporting
“Finally! Thanks to Making Peace Visible, there is at long last an outlet that covers the world's conflict interrupters — people working in the shadows, with relentless creativity, to prevent violence. This is fascinating, important and rare.”
— Amanda Ripley, journalist and bestselling author of High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out
“I am so impressed with all that MPV has been accomplishing! The podcast series is truly wonderful, and I really loved the first issue of NUANCE. Both represent such high-caliber storytelling at a time when voices for peace are being drowned out.”
— Melanie Greenberg
Managing Director, Peacebuilding, Humanity United
