In Nigerian Journalism and the Digital Age, Adeyanju Apejoye, Andrew Danjuma Dewan, and Seamus Simpson explore the extent to which a globally accessible online communication environment may be poised to provide the conditions for Nigeria to adopt, strategically, elements of 21st-century online mass communication with the potential for significant political and social development.

Through critical exposition of the history and character of Nigeria’s journey to the digital age the authors demonstrate how provision and consumption of both traditional and digital news have emerged and evolved as a topic of interest within decades of significant change within the Nigerian news media system. Underpinning the volume’s analysis is the core contention that the most productive, innovative, and effective media systems are those that position accountability to the public interest as a crucial factor in the functioning of news production and consumption. Apejoye, Dewan, and Simpson’s volume constitutes a significant contribution to understanding the Nigerian news media environment in the era of expanding digital information networks and services.

Reviews for Nigerian Journalism and the Digital Age: Crisis, Conflict, and the Road to a Better Future

This book is a valuable addition to the growing body of new publications on the Nigerian press. Its strongest qualities are the wide scope in including the history of the press from the precolonial era to the present, the reciprocity in media-government relations, the increasing significance of the new media, and the projected future directions of journalism practice. The book will be useful to mass communication and political science students, scholars, and general readers who want to understand the influence of the press and the journalistic enterprise. * Charles C.
