Theoretical aspects viz a viz media and crisis communication help to develop an in-depth understanding of the media’s roles in conflict situations. The researcher in this study tries to understand various media theories in the context of conflict reporting. Understanding the importance of theory and research helps the researcher to facilitate the selection and use of an appropriate framework in crisis communication.
