Background of the Study
Political advertising is a powerful tool for shaping voter perceptions and influencing electoral outcomes. However, its ethical implications, particularly in Katsina Local Government Area, have raised concerns about fairness, transparency, and the potential for misinformation. Political campaigns often exploit advertising to manipulate public opinion, exaggerate claims, or disparage opponents, thereby challenging ethical norms in communication (Ibrahim et al., 2024; Yusuf, 2023). The prevalence of such practices in Katsina underscores the need to examine the ethical dimensions of political advertising and its impact on democratic processes. This study explores the ethical challenges associated with political advertising in Katsina, focusing on its implications for voters and media credibility.
