This includes being impartial in their reporting of matters so that they are not seen as favoring a certain group over others, reporting on human rights violation, reporting on the suffering of people to put into light their plight so that they get the necessary assistance they need. Although the media has done a lot to avert this, it is to some extent to blame for the situation. Therefore by disseminating conflicting messages which could have fuelled the hatred. Therefore the media should act according its role of being the watchdog of the society so that issues like this don't arise in the future.
