This book explores how the media, and journalism in a cross-disciplinary sense, has treated conflicts in Nigeria, West Africa and the Sahel. Contributors connect theoretical foundations with practical experiences in the study of media, conflicts and national security, seeking to unravel the mediated and communication logic(s) in news coverage and analyse the media's role in pre-conflict, in-conflict and post-conflict discourses. The work maps out the impact of mediated narratives on security, risk, terrorism, banditry and general society, relying on local, on-the-spot and ontological cultural experiences in Africa, especially Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and other parts of West Africa. Abiodun Adeniyi is Professor and Dean of the School of Postgraduate Studies at Baze University, Nigeria. He has written for the Guardian and covered various beats in Lagos and Abuja for over a decade. He is the author of Diasporic Communication in the Digital Age and From Newsroom to Classroom: Notions of Media Theory and Practice in Africa. Paul A. Obi is a Lecturer at the Department of Mass Communication at Baze University. Between 2009 and 2018, he worked as a journalist with THISDAY Newspaper in Nigeria. He has more than 20 publications in edited volumes and international peer-reviewed journals, and is co-author of Media and Nigeria's Constitutional Democracy: Civic Space, Free Speech, and the Battle for Freedom of the Press. Sani K. Usman, mni, is a retired Brigadier General and public relations, strategic communication, and security expert. Usman previously served as Director of Public Relations for the Nigerian Army and is currently a doctoral student at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, Nigeria. Ibrahim U. Yusuf, PhD is a Lecturer with the Department of Mass Communication at University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria. He was the pioneer General Manager of radio station Lafiya Dole. He has published over 20 articles, book chapters and book reviews in international, national and local journals in the areas of broadcasting, Hausa home videos, media and conflicts and cultural communication.
