Book excerpt: "If democracy is about the power of people and their ability to communicate with each other within the contexts of social, economic and political dynamics, then the mass media, or mass communication structures and processes are indespensable in democratic practice or democratization. This book attempts to explain the interface between the mass media and democracy in Africa's most populous country, Nigeria from the build-up period, from pre-independence to the present." -- Page 4 of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent discussion of democratization in Africa has focused primarily on the reform of formal state institutions: the public service, the judiciary, and the legislature. Similarly, both scholars and activists have shown interest in how associational life-and with it a civil society-might be enhanced in the countries of the African continent. Much less concern, however, has been directed to the communications media, although they form a vital part of this process. Media and Democracy in Africa provides the first comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the role of the media in political change in sub-Saharan Africa. The central argument of the volume is that while the media may still be relatively weak compared to their positions in liberal democracies, they have come to play a much more important role than ever before since independence. Although they have not yet demonstrated sufficient effectiveness as public watchdogs and agenda setters, they have succeeded in creating new communicative spaces for people who have previously been intimidated or silent. Building on this the contributors argue that a different conceptualization of democratization than the mainstream currently uses may be necessary to capture the process in Africa where it is characterized by contestation rather than consolidation. This volume shows that the media scene in Africa is diverse. It stretches from the well-developed and technologically advanced situation in South Africa to the still fledgling media operations that are typical in sub-Saharan Africa. In these countries, print media as well as television and radio are just beginning to take their place in society and do so using simple and often outdated technology. The volume also examines how these growing outlets are supplemented by informal media, the so-called radio trottoir, or rumor mill whereby the autocratic and bureaucratic direction of public affairs are subject to private speculation and analysis. Media and Democracy in Africa is organized to provide a historical perspective on the evolution of the African media, placing the present in the context of the past, including both colonial and post-colonial experiences. It will be of interest to Africa area specialists, students of media and communications, political scientists and sociologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation critically examines the still evolving process of neoliberal democratization and its impact on the philosophy and structure of the Nigerian media. The return of civil rule in 1999 following decades of military despotism naturally generated a great deal of expectation regarding the prospects of a more democratic media system that would foster popular participation in development and governance. Well over a decade into the democratic experience, not much has changed as the country's media, particularly the broadcasting sector continue to stagnate under military era policies and legislations that automatically became Acts of parliament. The lack of substantive democratization by way of policies and regulations required of a democratic society is further compounded by the selective application of neoliberal policies relative to the political and economic interests of the ruling elite as evidenced by the contrasting policies in broadcasting and telecommunications in which the former remain largely under the stranglehold of the state and the latter almost fully deregulated. Further, the sustained advocacy of coalitions of civil society groups on a host of issues geared towards a more democratic, participatory and accessible media have thus far failed due to the shenanigans of members of parliament and top government officials who want to maintain the status quo. The apparent democratic deficit of the Nigerian media speaks directly to the limits of her current neoliberal democratization. The study draws from both postcolonial and globalization studies as well as critical political economy to explain the complexity of the Nigerian nation and context of its democratization. And given the widespread government abuse of the media in Nigeria, it identifies with the liberal critique of an overreaching state, but not necessarily its unfettered market prescription. Instead, it endorses a social democratic and plural media system not controlled by a leviathan state or behemoth capital; an inclusive system that goes beyond political and economic elites and the urban middle class to also serve the interests of minority groups and cultures, marginal voices and the often overlooked rural peasant populations.

This book was released on 2023-09-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book exhaustively laid bare the challenges confronting communication policy formulation in Nigeria. From what is on the ground, Nigeria has a communication policy that is ineffective and disconnected from the stakeholders. As a way out of the quagmire, the book recommended that Nigeria as a country should have a policy that could aid the free flow of communication from rural to urban and vice versa. The book also discussed generally how media report ethno-religious conflicts knowing fully of the fact that conflict anywhere is one of the elements that attract media attention due to the dictum that says 'it sells when it bleeds. The book essentially highlighted the areas where social media played significant roles in the advancement of democracy and good governance in Nigeria. The advancement of democracy and good governance in Nigeria has demonstrated the efficacy of social media use in electioneering campaigns, virtual monitoring of election conduct across various polling units, and the dissemination of post-election results, as well as serving as a medium for whistleblowing for corruption and bribery by government officials. It suggested among others that attempts must be made to get authors of some serious allegations against political office holders to substantiate them at an open forum where all the service providers, political office holders, and authors of materials on social media will be present to face each other and trash out issues bothering on good governance in Nigeria.
