Political liberalization was accompanied by profound changes in the media sector. The task is even greater when post-election political parties’ internal conflicts become intense. Studies have shown the intra conflict thus conflict that occurs within is more devastating than inter- conflict (between two parties) because belligerent are more aware of themselves and sometimes very difficult to resolve. This is where the media feeds on setting the agenda to further compound the problems of political parties after every general election in Ghana in the wake of internal elections within the various political parties in preparation for the next general elections routinely. In all of this, the media’s interest is to report, but beyond the reportage what really can the media do to contribute to resolving this annual ritual of internal political conflict which can degenerate into a national security challenge.
