Role of media in conflicts: Case study Rwanda
Mlčková, Kateřina ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
Media can have an enormous influence on its audience. They can suggest what and how we will think about something. Moreover people tend to joining groups and to share their opinions, so the minority opinions are slightly disappearing. As the media have this power, it isn't difficult to abuse them. The media in Rwanda were abused for extremist propaganda against Tutsi and moderate Hutu. Magazine Kangura was misused for racist brainwashing during civil war between 1990 and 1993. Radio broadcasting RTLM was effective way of organising genocide and provoking racial hatred in 1994 in Rwanda. On the other hand, the international press didn't inform correctly about what was going on in Rwanda. As a consequence, there wasn't such a high priority on solving somehow conflict in Rwanda.
