AN EXAMINATION OF THE CAMEROON TRIBUNE, LE MESSENGER, AND THE POST NEWSPAPERS USING CONFLICT SENSITIVE JOURNALISM PRINCIPLES IN THE PRINT MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE ‘ANGLOPHONE CRISIS’ IN CAMEROON
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the application of conflict-sensitive journalism principles in the coverage of the Cameroon Anglophone crisis by selected Cameroonian newspapers (Cameroon Tribune, Le Messager, and The Post newspapers) between 2017 and 2019, with the goal of contributing to Cameroon’s efforts toward conflict sensitive reporting and peace journalism.
The study’s central research question is: To what degree did print media coverage correspond to conflict-sensitive journalism norms and help to the peaceful resolution of the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon from 2017 to 2019?
As a result, the study advances the hypothesis that: Between 2017 and 2019, print media coverage of the Anglophone Problem in Cameroon may have fallen short of adopting conflict-sensitive journalism norms and therefore been unable to effectively contribute to the peaceful resolution of the crisis.
As a result, using a mix of quantitative content analysis and subjectively evaluated in-depth interviews with journalists, the study defines four types of language use: provocative, conciliatory, moderate, and sensational.
According to the survey, 32.5 percent of newspaper articles included incendiary language, while 26.9 percent were conciliatory, 26.0 percent were moderate, and 11.3 percent were sensational.
According to some, the high frequency of provocative and dramatic language (43.8 percent) has the potential to exacerbate the Cameroon Anglophone issue from 2017 to 2019. Only 31.8 percent of the materials were concerned with peace endeavors.
The stories that focused on crises accounted for 68.1 percent of the total, while other subjects accounted for 1.2 percent, demonstrating the newspapers’ proclivity to be riveted by the scene of violence without necessarily pursuing answers.
The study concludes that the use of inflammatory language, a lack of focus on peace initiatives, gender insensitivity, and a failure to use conflict analysis tools may have contributed to the escalating armed conflict, including the cycle of reprisal attacks that characterizes the Cameroon Anglophone crisis.
