- Description:
- This paper states that the "democracy movement" in Africa has reasserted the need for independent press activity. There has emerged independent radio broadcasting, which supports the abrogation of state monopoly of the broadcast media. It is up to the media educators and communicators to ensure that the main objective of the emerging media ought to be the improvement of the people's lifestyle, both materially and politically.

- Description:
- This paper examines the present structure and organisation of television in the country and highlights weaknesses which arise from a non-appreciation of the information needs of the people to whom television messages should be directed. It also explores the ways by which existing media facilities (traditional and modern) could be effectively harnessed to run a system that would meaningfully penetrate the rural areas. Highlighting the lack of creativity and initiative among television service policy makers, it proposes some strategies for making television move progressively from the studios to individual households.

- Description:
- This paper discusses the role of theatre in development. It starts off by summarizing the history of theatre in Sierra Leone. Then it gives a fairly detailed account of the activities of CARE's LEARN project in which theatre techniques were employed to create the necessary awareness for development among Sierra Leonians. It admits that though the approach used by LEARN in this project was not more truly participatory, it achieved noteworthy success in the areas of nutrition, sanitation and maternal childhealth care.

- Description:
- In this bibiliographic review, Obijiofor explores the impact or consequences of new technologies such as computers, telecommunications, satellites, home video systems, interactive multi media systems on developed and developing countries. It sheds light on two schools of thought; that the new technologies would provide urgent solutions to present and future problems and can also promote pornography in the internet with little control by the gate keepers. The paper explores the following areas of concern: uses of new technologies, legalistic interpretations of freedom of expression, gender and new communication technologies, the information superhighway and public expectations, among others. Finally the paper concludes that before government and policy makers rush into a final decision, the guiding question should be, does the common man or woman in the West or in Africa buffeted by hunger, understand the issues involved?
