According to the ManKind Initiative, one in three women and one in six to seven men have experienced domestic violence. This significant prevalence has led to increased media coverage, which has had both positive and negative consequences on how intimate partner violence is understood, communicated, and addressed. In her book, \"The News Coverage of Intimate Partner Violence in Nigeria: Exploring the Hidden Menace of Female-Perpetrated Violence Against Men,\" Aje-Ori Agbeses delves into the media portrayal of intimate partner violence in Nigeria, specifically examining three national newspapers and two news blogs from 2011 to 2022. The analysis reveals that women are the primary victims and faces of intimate partner violence in Nigeria, with many male victims being excluded from the narrative. Notably, if a victim, regardless of gender, survives a violent attack without dying, it is highly unlikely for the mass media to cover the incident. Agbese explores the reasons behind this phenomenon and offers insights for journalists and bloggers to become more inclusive in reshaping the narrative and contributing to the management of intimate partner violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666919967\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aje-Ori Agbese","offers":[{"title":"Unspecified","offer_id":44842397368570,"sku":"9781666919967","price":80.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1701452394173_book.jpg?v=1701690832","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/nigerian-news-coverage-of-intimate-partner-violence-20112022-9781666919967","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
