| dc.description.abstract | With a focus on Radio Tele Evangile et de la Reconciliation (RTER) in Nyankunde, Democratic Republic of the Congo, this study investigates the function of community radio in resolving inter-ethnic conflict in the unstable Irumu region. This study looks at how RTER might help with peacebuilding in the setting of persistent political unrest and ethnic tensions. The research uses qualitative techniques, such as interviews, focus groups, and content analysis, to assess how well RTER can thwart disinformation, encourage civic engagement, and aid in regional development initiatives. By highlighting the unique benefits of community radio in conflict resolution settings and offering strategies to maximize its influence, this study adds to the body of knowledge already available on the subject. The study looks at how RTER affects public discourse and fosters community cohesiveness in a historically contested area using a theoretical framework based on Agenda Setting Theory. It draws attention to the role that media plays in attempts to promote peace and provides information on how community radio might be applied to long-term conflict settlement. | |
