Creators of radio programs can either make a conflict worse − because they are not clear about their objectives − or they can help find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
By target their programs towards a particular group − the target audience – broadcasters can help affected communities, regions or countries find and progress along a more peaceful path.
Search for Common Ground has devised a training manual entitled Target audiences for peacebuilding. The manual aims to help broadcasters clarify the target audience for a particular program and design programs to achieve the greatest influence.
