Role Of The Media In The Crusade Against Global Terrorism
(A Case Study Of The Vanguard And Punch Newspapers)
In this study, the researcher setnut to examine the role of the media in the crusade against global terrorism. Towards achieving this end, 79 staff of two media houses in Nigeria, namely the publishers of the punch and vanguard newspapers were used as the study sample. These 89 members of the study sample were given 89 copies of structured questionnaires to complete. The analysis of their responses led to the following findings.
i. The Nigeria media had been playing notable role in the crusade or war against global terrorism. Some of these roles include the publication/reporting of informative and up-to-date news on the dangers of terrorism; the making of compassionate appeals to terrorists to desist from such devilish acts and the exposing of the hideouts of some notorious terrorists.
ii. The Nigerian media had, through their activities, made positive impact as regards reducing the incidence of global terrorism.
iii. Through their anti-terrorism crusade, the Nigerian media has discouraged terrorists from using the country as their hideouts.
On the basis of the above findings, the researcher recommended that, in order to enhance the anti-terrorism campaign of the Nigerian media, the government should subsidize the cost of printing/publishing materials (such as ink, paper, and lithographic machines, the printing press etc). the researcher also recommended that the government should improve the nation’s broadcasting infrastructure such as the transmitters and the satellite. In addition, media practitioners in the country are enjoined (urged) to intensify their efforts to ensure that they report up-to-date news on terrorism.
