Examples
Myers M., Local radio: fostering community development or ethnic hatred? Donor dilemmas and perspectives from Rwanda, D.R. Congo and Kenya, (2008)
In this article Dr. Myers explores the nature of local and community radio in the light of development and looks, in particular, at its double-edged nature. On the one hand it has the ability to foster community cohesion and development but on the other, it can be a negative force and can stoke ethnic hatred and violence. Thus, local radio can sometimes build communities and it can sometimes - even unwittingly - play a part in destroying them.
Kirschke, L., Broadcasting genocide : censorship, propaganda & state-sponsored violence in Rwanda 1990-1994, Article 19 (1996), London
In communal conflicts and humanitarian disasters the mass media have enormous power for good or evil. The very language used can influence the perception of where responsibility for conflict lies.
