Abstract
This chapter examines the issue of political conflicts and the predisposing factors in a multicultural setting like Nigeria. It is an evaluation of the reportage of Nigerian media of political conflicts within the unique multicultural environment the media operate. These affect how the media discharge their roles in every known society. This chapter also evaluates the interface between the human rights community in Nigeria and the media reportage of political conflicts in the interaction of both. The highpoint of this chapter is, therefore, the determination (from empirical and literature analyses) of the specific styles and patterns the Nigerian media have adopted in reporting political conflicts with a view to making a case for Peace Journalism in pedagogy and professional practices.
