From Steve Youngblood’s Peace Journalism website:

Peace Journalism is when editors and reporters make choices that improve the prospects  for peace. These choices also promote the positive development of societies recovering from war. These choices — which stories to report and how they are reported, among others — create an atmosphere conducive to peace and supportive of peace initiatives and peacemakers, without compromising the principles of good journalism.
