“…Bartlett and Reynolds (2015) maintain that social media platforms have become a useful tool for violent extremists to advance their goals. They use the media to influence the youths with extremist messages aimed at propagating their negative ideology and recruitment (van Ginkel, 2015). Gerstenfeld, Grant and Chiang (2003) observe that the people propagating extremism use the social media.…”

The study examines the role of social media and political participation among youth in southeastern Nigeria during the 2015-2019 general elections. Both primary and secondary data were used. The instruments used for data collection were a validated questionnaire and guided interview. The data were analyzed using content analysis. Against this backdrop the Public Sphere and Political Campaign Theory was adopted as a framework of analysis. The findings of the study show that the social media have a very crucial role to play in the promotion of accountability in any democratic society. It was also discovered that for twenty years now, the democratic journey has remained tortuous because of the reckless pursuits of power by the political class. It was concluded that the Nigerian social media need to overcome some of the above mentioned challenges that limit their performance as a credible institution entrusted with the role of serving as the watchdog of the society without flouting the media ethical standards and squander imperatives for objectivity. The study recommends a need to address good governance that would position fundamental governance and create an enabling environment for self-participation. Electorates should critically analyze the situation and make inquiries before voting for a candidate who will not bring about growth and development in the country.

“…The interdisciplinary texture of counter-narrative is moreover evident when gazing at the wide range of studies where the concept is applied covering both traditional and recent genres or themes such as social media (Tiidenberg & Cruz 2015), radicalization (Ginkel 2015), digital storytelling (Lenette & Brough 2013), photographs (Poddiakov 2004), law (Barton 2007;Hewitt 2005), crime (Page 2014), film (Abu-Remaileh 2014) and childrens' literacy (Rogers & Brefeld 2015).…”

There is a rich tradition of studying narratives in the fields of communication and language at work. Our purpose is to review two approaches to narrative-counter-narrative dynamics. The first is ‘storytelling organization theory’ (SOT), which interplays western retrospective-narrative ways of knowing with more indigenous ways of knowing called ‘living stories’, ‘pre-narrative’ and ‘pre-story’, and the prospective-‘antenarrative’ practices. The second is the communication as constitutive of organization (CCO) approach to narrative-counter-narrative. Both SOT and CCO deconstruct dominant narratives about communication and language at work. Both theories revisit, challenge, and to some extent cultivate counter-narratives. SOT seeks to go beyond and beneath the narrative-counter-narrative ‘dialectic’ in an antenarrative approach. CCO pursues counter-narratives as a useful tool to make tensions within and between organizations and society, salient as they may contest or negotiate dominant narratives, which hinder the organization from benefitting from less powerful counter-narratives.
