- 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:
- In the wake of accusations and counter-accusations between the West and developing nations over the unbalanced nature of information flow, communication researchers and policy formulation groups have, over the years, been enticed to make decisions based on empirical findings. In this paper, the author presents findings of a study conducted on four leading Nigerian newspapers over a one-year period. His conclusion is that the media in Africa are equally to blame for perpetrating a negative image of the continent, and that the continent can only benefit from a new and more equitable international communication order by re-examining her values. The paper warns that devoting undue attention to conflict, crime and disasters at the expense of the region's efforts, policies and programmes aimed at advancing the people's welfare, negates the very principle of balanced reporting which Africa so much craves for.
