“…The media has been used to propagate false information and incite violence, leading to social unrest and loss of lives.

Media propaganda has been a common tool for political actors to influence public perception and opinion. In the aftermath of the 2023 general elections exercise held in Nigeria, the issue of post-election threats dominated local news coverage. This study has made use of textual analysis approach to analyse the media propaganda in local news surrounding post-election threats in Nigeria and the implications of such propaganda on the receiving audience. The study was anchored on the Media Framing Theory and is supported by the Agenda Setting Theory. A textual analysis of selected local news stories was conducted to identify dominant themes and the framing of the post-election threats from four online newspapers. The research showed that media propaganda played a significant role in shaping the public discourse and framing the post-election threats in Nigeria. From textual analytical submissions, the study concluded that when unchecked, media agenda and framing unnecessarily heat up the polity, deepen misunderstanding and inspire anarchy.

“…40 Traditional media literacy programs cannot address the issues raised by insulated information bubbles, where ideologically motivated misinformation spirals and echoes without check. To be relevant in the current media landscape and polarized debate, media literacy programs need to address intentionally manipulative media 41 by engaging further sources in a collaborative rather than merely analytic fashion. Team efforts to review sources as well as to learn more about the information the team seeks allow members of the team to connect, compare notes, and help each other in the process of debiasing, especially in the context of teams that have members of diverse views and backgrounds.…”

Learning to Avoid Extremism

Democracies are calling on schools to respond to a rise in extremist ideologies and actions. In this article Sigal Ben‐Porath situates the rise in extremism within the broader context of political polarization. She suggests that the latter is a more appropriate target for school intervention than the former. She further suggests that addressing polarization can result in a reduction in extremism, and that polarization can be addressed by refocusing the use of existing teaching and learning tools, rather than by instituting new forms of intervention such as the Prevent strategy used in the UK. Tackling polarization through media literacy and the development of democratic habits can help rectify false beliefs, which contribute both to broad political polarization and to individuals' slide toward extremism. Focusing on strengthening knowledge as well as social ties can fortify individuals' and communities' resilience against extremism, as well as build bridges and connect people to a sense of shared fate across political divides. These practices are more effective and more justified than targeting individual students who are suspected of holding radical beliefs.
