Conclusion
The media coverage was, to a large extent, elite oriented.
Media coverage failed to bring peace or alternative discourse.
Media tend to use provocative words in conflict reporting rather than neutral or peace oriented words.
Media changed their standing in consistent with the change of political situation.
