In this comprehensive edited collection, contributors delve into the intricate dynamics of media coverage in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation. Recognized as the fourth estate of the realm, the Nigerian media has faced numerous challenges throughout its history, despite its constitutional role. From British colonialism and military rule to the democratic dispensation, this book captures a wide range of the obstacles encountered.
Typically, democracy is designed to uphold freedom of expression as an inherent right and a vital corollary of democratic governance. However, media freedom in Nigeria has been a complex and elusive journey, characterized by tortuous and ambiguous circumstances. A paradoxical discrepancy exists between the state's reliance on media partnerships and its obstruction of accountable journalism, which would hold both the state and the media accountable.
The editors offer a poignant perspective on the challenging interactions and dialectics between media and democracy, as well as the cascading power dynamics at play. Contributors advocate for open democratic deliberations, civic space, and freedom of the press, all firmly rooted in the public good. This book holds particular interest for scholars in journalism, political communication, media studies, and African studies.
