The media can play a role in perpetuating genocide by spreading propaganda, dehumanizing certain groups, and inciting violence through inflammatory language and imagery. This can further fuel tensions and create a climate of fear and hatred that can contribute to the escalation of genocidal acts. By not accurately reporting on the atrocities, the media can also fail to raise awareness and push for international intervention to stop the genocide.
