The analysis revealed that TTV Amharic portrayed negative images of federalrngovernment and institutions in its news stories. Likewise, ETV 57 depicted the Tigray RegionalrnGovernment in a negative light. Both media outlets had their own share of contributions tornexacerbation of the conflict before and during the break out of the actual conflict. This beingrnthe case, however, there was a slight difference between the two selected media outlets. ThernETV 57 news narratives had less focus on the war of words before the break out of the actualrnconflict. But it ratcheted up its polarizing news narratives once the conflict broke out.
