Media Coverage of Women’s Involvement in the #EndSARS Protest Movement in Nigeria
ABSTRACT In October 2020, anger among Nigerian citizens about violence being perpetrated by the notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) erupted in a series of virtual and in-person protests. Nigerian women used the #EndSARS protest movement to navigate the patriarchal and oppressive nature of the state and demand the end of police brutality and more accountability among state security agents. The media has played an immense role in shaping the narratives of the protest movement and women’s involvement in it. This study examines the frames used by Nigerian news media when reporting on women’s participation in the #EndSARS movement. Analysis of 174 online news articles published in October 2020 in Punch, The Sun Nigeria, Guardian Nigeria and The Cable revealed that the media framed the female protesters as having vital political agency and clear insights into the relations between the state and its citizens, but also as passive victims.
期刊介绍：
Accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training for university research purposes African Journalism Studies subscribes to the Code of Best Practice for Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals of the Academy of Science of South Africa. African Journalism Studies ( AJS) aims to contribute to the ongoing extension of the theories, methodologies and empirical data to under-researched areas of knowledge production, through its emphasis on African journalism studies within a broader, comparative perspective of the Global South. AJS strives for theoretical diversity and methodological inclusivity, by developing theoretical approaches and making critical interventions in global scholarly debates. The journal''s comparative and interdisciplinary approach is informed by the related fields of cultural and media studies, communication studies, African studies, politics, and sociology. The field of journalism studies is understood broadly, as including the practices, norms, value systems, frameworks of representation, audiences, platforms, industries, theories and power relations that relate to the production, consumption and study of journalism. A wide definition of journalism is used, which extends beyond news and current affairs to include digital and social media, documentary film and narrative non-fiction.
