Media, Conflicts and the National Security Question is written by Abiodun Adeniyi and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 303182198X (ISBN 10) and 9783031821981 (ISBN 13).

This book explores how the media, and journalism in a cross-disciplinary sense, has treated conflicts in Nigeria, West Africa and the Sahel. Contributors connect theoretical foundations with practical experiences in the study of media, conflicts and national security, seeking to unravel the mediated and communication logic(s) in news coverage and analyse the media's role in pre-conflict, in-conflict and post-conflict discourses. The work maps out the impact of mediated narratives on security, risk, terrorism, banditry and general society, relying on local, on-the-spot and ontological cultural experiences in Africa, especially Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and other parts of West Africa.
