Book Synopsis Journalism and Politics in Nigeria by : Mercy Ette
Download or read book Journalism and Politics in Nigeria written by Mercy Ette and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the legacy of colonial heritage on Nigerian political activities and journalistic practices. It asserts that journalism and multi-party politics were introduced into the country during British colonial rule, and, while they have become domesticated and indigenised, they still exhibit traces of their roots because they emerged in a different socio-cultural and political environment. Taking as its point of departure the view that, without the colonial intervention, the Nigerian state may not have come into being or survived in its present form, this book offers fresh insight into the impact of British colonial rule on contemporary journalistic practices and political activities more than 100 years after the ‘creation’ of Nigeria. It draws attention to the enduring effect of colonial inheritance on Nigeria and how the ‘creation’ process of the country produced unintended consequences that remain problematic. Using press coverage of the politics of transition-to-civil-rule programmes during periods of military dictatorship as a case study, the book identifies trends and patterns of influence from the past that have been interlaced into the present.

Book Synopsis Women's Political Visibility and Media Access by : Oladokun Omojola
Download or read book Women's Political Visibility and Media Access written by Oladokun Omojola and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The constitutions of most countries frown at gender discrimination. Local, multinational and multilateral organizations in many developed and developing nations have instituted policies and taken actions that address cases of injustice against women. But gender inequity appears to be an issue beyond what constitutional provisions and corporate strategies can address. How, for instance, does a statutory provision guarantee the equal visibility of men and women in a news report, especially in a neoliberal democracy where the general patriarchal character of the media aligns with the logic of commercialism which prioritizes profit and targets mainly those who have the means of purchase? The invisibility of women in the media is a global issue, and a great concern in Africa. Women’s Political Visibility and Media Access: The Case of Nigeria, however, is about a country of over 160 million people; a population roughly divided equally between male and female. The book, through empirical analyses and qualitative discourses, agglomerates several perspectives regarding the visibility of women in the turbulent Nigerian political terrain and the response of the media in that direction, in a concerted effort to resolve the burning issues of gender equality in Nigeria. The book assesses the impact of aggressive tactics from women in the political arena, “conscious reporting” of women by journalists, and the increased use of ICTs by women as practical ways of bridging this wide gap.

Book Synopsis Guerrilla Journalism by : Sunday Dare
Download or read book Guerrilla Journalism written by Sunday Dare and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guerrilla Journalism is a compelling personal narrative of how Sunday Dare and his colleagues frontally defied anti-media military laws in Nigeria by adopting hitherto unknown tactics to continue to report political events. From the vantage position of a first person, Dare provides terrific insights into how it all came together and why in the face of grave danger, a group of journalists embraced underground tactics to continue to expose the military junta. Indeed, Sunday Dare's life as a journalist is pretty much a walk in a minefield. From his days as a reporter through his years as an editor and eventually manager of media resources, Dare has weathered storms and come face-to-face with the most potent hazards. But in all these, Dare's quest for balance and fairness has always been unequivocal. Dare is one of the few journalists who uphold fiery reporting and fair representation as sacrosanct principles of journalism. At a time when most Nigerian journalists wallowed in resentment for the military, Sunday Dare remained a potent professional hand. This may have led to his posting to the jaws of the Abacha Junta, by TheNEWS and TEMPO publications whose writers were all on the hit list of the Junta. Dare's posting to Abuja, Nigeria's Capital city and the cat-and-mouse game he had to sustain gave true meaning to the term "Editor-at-Large". Dare took his posting seriously and the execution of his assignments proved that the journalist and his publishers fit each other like a hand and its glove. Some ascribed Dare's composure to his academic brilliance, while others linked it to his humility. More point to his detribalized personality, just as others attribute his successes to his thick skin. Either way, Sunday Dare's unique ability to bring forth the sensitive issues in political tactics places him way ahead of many, aficionados and adversaries alike. Through his college days Sunday Dare learnt the art of "sleeping with the enemy". This skill eventually helped to put him a step ahead of the Junta, and its apparatchiks. Under the military, the nation's army, its oil industry and the electronic media were the fiefdoms of government. And the resources of all three were vested in one behemoth, which ultimately held the public hostage. This predatory behemoth was the Junta, which sneered at any craving for a quick return to democracy. Dare's duty was to expose this Junta. The military short-changed Nigerians and Dare's courageous publication exposed them. And it paid dearly for its bravado. Sunday Dare was one of a group of young, resilient, and enterprising journalists who frontally defied the military. This is not just Sunday Dare's story, it is their book. In Guerrilla Journalism Sunday Dare highlights the previously unattended subject of aggressive reporting of ill- constituted authority that Nigeria last witnessed when it struggled for the return of democracy. Dare chronicles a confrontation in which the pen audaciously stares the bullet in the face. If Nigerians cogitated the modus operandi of Dare's media which enriched public awareness on the insincerity of the military, their moral frailties, crack on the truth, negation of social justice and use of state terrorism, this narration, serves it on a platter; an expose' of a special kind. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ".... the Press found itself under siege as it fought back. Under Ibrahim Babangida, when the journalists began to feel the cutting edge of the affable dictator's smiling teeth, Babangida's sadistic agents would simply wait until the daily or weekly print run had been completed, then swoop down on the editorial houses and cart off their irreplaceable haul." From You Must Set Forth At Dawn, Memoirs, by Wole Soyinka. Cited with the Author's permission. "Sunday Dare's account of the deadly risks

Book Synopsis Regional Parallelism and Corruption Scandals in Nigeria by : Muhammad Jameel Yusha'u
Download or read book Regional Parallelism and Corruption Scandals in Nigeria written by Muhammad Jameel Yusha'u and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regional Parallelism and Corruption Scandals in Nigeria is a ground-breaking book that offers fresh perspectives on the character and role of the African media in covering corruption scandals. It explores whether reports regarding corruption stem from the efforts of journalists who employ investigative journalism, or if it is a mere coincidence promoted by the activities of anti-corruption agencies. To that end, the book develops a media systems theory for Africa based on the coverage of corruption scandals in the Nigerian press. This new theoretical paradigm, defined as regional parallelism, argues that African countries are nations within nations, and that therefore any comparative study of the media system should recognize this understanding. The book combines both interviews with journalists as well as qualitative content analysis of newspapers to determine the patterns and issues that influence the reporting of corruption. It also looks at corruption within the media itself, taking into account factors such as regionalism and ethnicity within the practice of journalism.

Download or read book Global Perspectives on the Impact of Mass Media on Electoral Processes written by Aririguzoh, Stella Amara and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The media play active roles in politics with different media channels serving as bridges that link the politicians and citizens together. It is clear that what the media emphasize as important may be seen as such by the public. Hence, it is likely that the media may impact voter decisions during electoral processes and even during the elections. As such, it is imperative that research is collected on the impact of the media and the role it plays in strengthening party loyalty, improving public knowledge on elections, and swaying apathetic citizens to become involved in the electoral process. Global Perspectives on the Impact of Mass Media on Electoral Processes provides relevant theoretical frameworks and research findings that evidence the impact of the media in specific elections in different countries around the world. The book supports professionals who want to improve their understanding of the strategic roles that the media play in electoral politics as well as political candidates who may want to know if their heavy expenditures in paying the media to carry their political messages bring in returns on their investment. Covering topics that include social media, political cartoons, and media influence, this book seeks to provide fresh insights on the media’s impact on elections whether at the national, regional, or local levels. It is ideal for politicians, campaign managers, media analysts, government officials, professionals, researchers, students, academicians, and individuals involved in electoral management, political parties, advertising agencies, and marketing companies.
