- Description:
- This paper questions the popular view that Western media negate the image of the Third World through unprofessionally acquired reports that concentrate on negative activities while ignoring the positive ones. The paper claims that there is no empirical validation of the view that there is an imbalance in news coverage between the West and the Third World. By content-analysing a sample of Nigerian papers, the author arrives at the conclusion that these papers not only do not have a better balance than the Western ones in reporting world news, but they do not even give more prominence to Third World news.

- Description:
- This study assesses the extent to which national Nigerian newspapers (5 of them government-owned and 4 privately-owned) are covering a government programme, Mass Mobilization for Self-Reliance, Social Justice and Economic Recovery, MAMSER, as a benchmark for determining the value orientation of these categories of newspaper ownership types and of Nigerian newspapers in general. It finds that newspaper ownership is an important factor influencing the performance of the press; government-owned newspapers are more inclined than than private ones to highlight cases of perceived 'success' of the MAMSER programme. But they are also less willing to report evidence of problems of the programme. It concludes that government press, more than private one, chooses to serve the limited interest of the government at the expense of the greater and long-range interests of the nations as a whole.

- Description:
- It is a quarter of a century now since Zambia's vernacular provincial press was established by the government. In this pilot study, the researchers have looked at one of the newspapers and concluded that it is ineffective content-wide and circulation-wise. The authors recommend that the Zambian government should take a fresh look at the newspaper, and perhaps at the other five as well, to ensure that what is published is really about and for rural people and that copies of every issue are made available to them.
