Background of the Study
Community radio has emerged as a vital tool for promoting peace and conflict resolution in regions affected by ethnic, religious, and political tensions. In Jos East Local Government Area (LGA), Plateau State, community radio stations play a pivotal role in fostering dialogue, dispelling rumors, and building trust among conflicting groups.
