The Media and Genocide Archive
In conjunction with the symposium, the School
of Journalism and Communication is establishing a research
archive at Carleton University to house material related to
the media and the genocide.
Our goal is to make all of this material available
online, through this website. The archive will include audio,
video and text material, including all of the radio reports
broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) during
the genocide.
The archive will also include the entire collection
of radio interviews conducted by Michael Enright with Romeo
Dallaire for the CBC Radio program As It Happens.
The collection will also include the wealth
of material collected by the International Criminal Tribunal
for Rwanda in the course of the media trial, such as audio
recordings and transcripts of RTLM broadcasts and clippings
from the extremist Kangura newspaper.
A searchable database of RTLM and Kangura reports
developed for the tribunal will be housed in the Carleton
archive.
We will also replicate the Rwanda archive created
by British journalist Linda Melvern, who assembled a massive
collection of genocide-related documents in the course of
researching her books on these events.
