Abstract
This research examines how Muslims of the Rohingya ethnic group are portrayed in mainstream and social media, with an emphasis on analysing the themes, biases, and framing strategies used in media coverage of the crisis. The concentrate additionally explores how popular assessment and feelings towards the Rohingya bunch are impacted by media portrayal. Through a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative media content analysis and a survey questionnaire distributed to a significant number of participants, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the media influence public opinion. As per the review's discoveries, the traditional press reliably depicts Muslims from the Rohingya ethnic gathering in an offensive and one-sided way. The media frequently reinforces stereotypes and preconceived notions, influencing public opinion and increasing the marginalization of the Rohingya minority. The evaluation of media content demonstrates the significance of responsible reporting and critical analysis in stopping the dissemination of misleading narratives and false information. The respondents' media consumption habits and level of familiarity with the Rohingya crisis are also examined in the survey questionnaire. It suggests that a significant number of people are getting information about the crisis from social media, online news sources, and television news channels. The study also identifies a correlation between media coverage and awareness of the ongoing challenges the Rohingya population faces. In addition, the study emphasizes the significance of media literacy and knowledge in addressing concerns regarding media representation. People with media literacy can evaluate media content critically, recognise biases, and identify trustworthy information sources. It gives people the power to interact with the media in an ethical manner and actively participate in influencing the public debate. This study offers insightful information for media professionals, decision-makers, and advocacy groups by illuminating the interactions between media, public perception, and the Rohingya crisis. In order to encourage honest and fair reporting on the Rohingya issue and to create empathy, understanding, and support for the Rohingya community, it advocates for moral and objective media practises. The results of this study add to the larger conversation about media representation and how it affects communities of colour, emphasising the need for a more responsible and inclusive media environment. In conclusion, this study emphasises how important the media is in influencing how people feel about the Rohingya situation and how they view the world. It highlights the need for media outlets to reflect critically on how they present the Rohingya community, work towards fair and objective reporting, and encourage media literacy among the audience. By doing this, the media can influence public perception favourably, encourage sympathy, support, educated decision-making, and possibly make a significant difference in how the ongoing situation is handled.
