| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the radio in peace building. It was a case study of the KBC radio service among the Rendille, Borana, Burji and Gabra communities in Marsabit County. The study has found that, the KBC sub-service stations are all rated lowly in terms of attention and coverage of conflict reporting and mobilization for peace.
This was assessed in the parameters of frequency of capture of stories related to peace and conflict as well as the air time given to such stories and the number of times such a particular story that find itself in focus is repeated to stress it. From the respondents' responses, it is clear that not much attention is given to coverage of conflict and peace efforts in Marsabit County.
It is my hope that as time goes by; restrictive policy framework of KBC will be relaxed to allow the sub-service stations more space in terms of determination of news, coverage and time on air. This may lead them to develop more relevant content for the local vernacular speakers. | en_US |
