About this Product
The Nigerian mass media landscape is characterized by a range of topical issues that significantly impact its effectiveness and credibility. This book synthesizes key concerns identified in recent studies, including ethical challenges, the role of media in sustainable development, and the influence of political and economic factors on journalism practice. Ethical issues such as character assassination, junk journalism, and the phenomenon of "Afghanistanism," where local issues are overshadowed by foreign problems, are prevalent and undermine journalistic integrity. Furthermore, the mass medias potential to contribute to sustainable development is hindered by systemic challenges, including corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and political instability, which limit its ability to mobilize public opinion and drive national development efforts. The industry also grapples with the "brown envelope syndrome," a form of corruption where journalists accept bribes for favorable coverage, further eroding public trust. Addressing these issues is crucial for enhancing the role of the mass media in Nigerias socio-political landscape and ensuring it fulfills its mandate as a watchdog.
