Similarly, Ms. Pauline Torehall, the Head of Political, Press and Information Section for the EU Delegation reiterates terrorism happens with or without media - but when such insurgent and violent groups take the proverbial microphone of national and international media, their message spreads, and gains legitimacy in the minds of governments and populations worldwide.
Torehall rightly points to social media as a highly used means of leverage for such organizations - Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube engage populations for recruiting and propaganda. Torehall understands governments spanning the globe learn how important multi-platform strategies and tactics become in the fight against anti-extremist groups.
As such, Torehall pins the media roundtable as a vital keystone in Strategic Communications, because of Nigeria’s diverse and potent national presses, and their collective influence of more than fifty journalists and media professionals from at least forty institutions across the nation participating.
This is a most sensitive PR campaign/public relations ordeal. Instead of a product, it’s a human’s system of belief and Nigerians’ very existence at stake in such a campaign. This plan seems like it could really make headway in the fight against extremist violence and insurgents because it purports to unite the six “focus areas” of government into a more dynamic machine. If the NSSC streamlines this process enough to compete and eventually flood the Boko Harem propaganda out of social media, then they show a real chance that those Nigerians still on the fence or otherwise young enough to not know what to fight for may be dissuaded from making the wrong choices.PR Insights & Public Relations Strategy
