Produktbeschreibung
The relationship between democracy and media is crucial globally, as they are seen to complement each other in a harmonious coexistence. This is because democracy thrives on the active participation of society members, a process that is often facilitated by mass media. This book delves into the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of the Nigerian media's role in the country's democracy. It highlights that the Nigerian media draws its inspiration from a liberal/functionalist perspective, with a particular emphasis on the social responsibility theory. Despite facing challenges, the performance of the Nigerian media within the country's democratic framework is generally deemed satisfactory. The book not only explores these challenges but also provides recommendations for enhancing media performance moving forward.
