The research is motivated by the increasing role of both traditional and social media in influencing discourse around political crises and regional diplomacy in West Africa. Using Niger State as a case study, the study analyzes how various media outlets frame and report ECOWAS’ actions, and the extent to which such coverage affects public opinion within member states and beyond. The study adopts a qualitative approach, drawing on media reports, scholarly literature, and content analysis to evaluate patterns in media framing and representation. It further explores how international media coverage contributes to shaping global perspectives and support for ECOWAS interventions. Additionally, the study highlights the role of social media in amplifying or contesting dominant narratives, thereby influencing public engagement and political discourse. Findings from the study reveal that media framing significantly impacts how ECOWAS is perceived, either as an effective regional stabilizer or as an organization facing operational and political limitations. The study concludes that media coverage plays a crucial role in shaping regional diplomacy, public trust, and policy outcomes. It recommends improved media engagement strategies by ECOWAS and emphasizes the need for balanced, accurate reporting to enhance transparency and regional stability....Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit»Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc)
