- It is a common ideology in the society that “if the tongue and teeth who have being in the same environment (mouth) for long can have disagreement, then who are we not to disagree over almost everything?”Conflict can not to totally avoided, it is important resolving the conflict when it occurs. A typical picture of conflict is the Niger Delta region in Nigeria. The region is made up of 8 states out of the 36 states in Nigeria. There are several methods of resolving conflict and one of the most employed is negotiation. In this thesis, the research seeks to critically analyze the role of newspaper in the resolution of conflict in the case of Niger Delta region. The newspapers (Punch, Guardian, Vanguard etc) were selected because there are privately owned, popular and widely read in the nation and region. Since the newspaper disseminates information and trusted by the citizens of Nigeria and the indigenes of the region, the research used postmodernism theory as the theory of choice. This was to carefully analyze how the different selected newspaper uses language. This was possible through deconstruction after reading, re-read to properly understand the ideology of the writer and the hidden messages. At the end of the research the causes of the conflict was; quest for power, ownership of oil wells amongst other. After analyzing 16 out of 20 newspapers it was concluded that the selected newspaper are resolving the conflict by changing the minds of the reader. This was possible by painting the Niger Delta avengers/militants bad and enemy to the progress of the people of the region, while the federal governments were seen as the “Saints”. Though further research need to be carried out to ascertain quantitatively and qualitatively the extent of the media roles in resolving the conflict. Word Count: 300 Keywords: Niger Delta, Militant, Conflict, Conflict Resolution, Newspaper, Postmodernism, Language, Federal government.
