Abstract

The liberation of Mosul from IS in July 2017 has left the city with a considerable number of challenges as reconstruction efforts begin. The absence of any clear authority or political will at a national level has seen a greater focus on community-based and civil society-led initiatives to support reconstruction and reconciliation. In the case of media, a number of local media enterprises have begun to play a more significant role in reporting on the key issues that are impacting on socio-political progress in the newly liberated territories. Based on fieldwork that took place in Iraq during 2018, this chapter examines some of the developments that have occurred in post-IS Mosul, considering both the achievements and failings of media and, in particular, those of local media, in the context of the complexities of reconciliation efforts in Iraq.
