Role of International Communication in Shaping Political Perception: a Study of Gombe Local Government

Abstract

This paper examines the pivotal role of international communication in shaping political perception in an increasingly interconnected world. As global communication technologies evolve, they facilitate the dissemination of information across borders, impacting how political narratives are constructed and perceived. This study explores how international communication, social networks, and diplomatic communications influence public opinion and political behaviour. It highlights the dual nature of these interactions, where both state and non-state actors use communication strategies to promote their agendas. The analysis also considers the implications of misinformation and media bias, emphasising the responsibility of international communicators to foster informed political discourse. This paper argues that international communication is crucial in shaping political perception, with significant consequences for democratic engagement and global governance.
