Using the in depth interview research method, this study examines bureaucracy and citizen journalism by giving a cursory attention to the issues and challenges of the practice in Nigeria. A sample of 30 respondents who cut across the six geo political zones of the country was interviewed via online medium to give answers to the research objectives. Among the questions posed was to ascertain the influence of citizen journalism on professional media practice. Findings showed that bureaucracy is a constraint to efficient administration in media practice as well as altering the news content which has a damning effect on public interest. The study also discovered that adherence to bureaucracy in media practice can save the hot and exuberant reporter. Citizen journalism was also found to be unprocessed material, hence, unfit for public consumption. The study recommended the use of gate keeping in the practice of citizen journalism as well as adherence to rules and regulations.

Current governance principles and practices are misaligned with the realities of the modern world. Striking this ‘right fit’ between knowledge, resources, processes and outcomes in complex environments where different groups have something to contribute towards shared outcomes – even while pursuing their own objectives – this is what we call intelligent governance.
This document provides an introduction and table of contents for the book "Sociology of Education Today" edited by Jack Demaine. The book contains 11 chapters written by various authors on topics within the sociology of education. The introduction provides background on the editor and acknowledges those who contributed to and supported the work. The table of contents lists the titles of the 11 chapters and their authors.
The document discusses issues with development programs failing to empower rural communities. It argues current education and development paradigms do not meet the needs of rural people, who often lack opportunities for entrepreneurship or skills relevant to their lives. New approaches are needed that recognize each community's uniqueness and empower people through flexible, locally-adapted solutions instead of standardized models. Technology should be adapted to small-scale use to allow economic opportunities without forcing migration. Overall it calls for rethinking development to better suit rural realities and empower communities through culturally-sensitive, locally-driven solutions.

It is a multidisciplinary field with contributions from ecology, demography, anthropology, geography, international relations, political science, history, sociology and public management. Development Studies in India is more ‘problem-oriented’ rather than ‘discipline-oriented’. This area of study is concerned with bringing intellectual power to solve major societal problems by selecting suitable theory, techniques and methods as a foundation for studies, which improve our understanding. It is normative and is not just concerned with knowledge generation for its own sake, but with knowledge creation as an influential tool to improve social and natural conditions.

Article: Unravelling Institutionalized Gender InequalityGender at Work .
This document summarizes the key challenges and strategies for addressing institutionalized gender inequality. It discusses how major institutions are inherently gendered in favoring men, and how this bias becomes deeply embedded and reinforced over time through social norms and conventions. It emphasizes that truly expanding women's capabilities requires transforming gender relations and the institutions that preserve inequality. The document also examines how gender mainstreaming efforts face challenges becoming marginalized or failing to create meaningful change. Overall, it argues that addressing institutionalized gender bias requires deep analysis of the implicit rules and power structures across different levels and spheres of society that privilege men and undermine gender equality.
The impact of globalization on education policy of developing countries oman ...Ali Yah
This document discusses how globalization has impacted education policy in developing countries. It argues that education policy is no longer determined solely within nation states, but is shaped by global processes and actors like international organizations. Globalization has led to increased competition between countries to improve their labor forces and economic competitiveness through reforms to education curriculum, pedagogy and evaluation. While all countries are affected, developing countries experience less mediated impacts from globalization on their education policies than developed countries. The paper uses Oman as a case study to illustrate how globalization has driven changes to education policy in developing nations.

BREWIS Elisa Inclusive development in Indonesian HE reform post-1997Elisa Brewis
This document summarizes a paper presented at the annual ASEASUK Conference in London on September 16, 2016. The paper examines inclusive development in Indonesian higher education reform after 1997. It discusses two global trends - the conceptualization of development as being more inclusive of equity and rights, and the massification of higher education leading to demands for fair access. The author analyzes five pieces of Indonesian legislation related to higher education reform to assess whether mechanisms support fair access in terms of accessibility, availability and quality across institutions. Through qualitative content analysis, the author argues the discourse increasingly emphasizes pancasila principles and human capabilities despite erosion of neoliberal arguments. The paper aims to evaluate the extent to which reforms reflect pro-inclusive development policies

1. The BSTEP program at Michigan State University aimed to train elementary school teachers to function as "psycho-social therapists" using behavioral science approaches to comprehensively aid students as "clients".
2. The program sought to shift the focus of education to practical action-research using students as "guinea pigs" and teachers as "agents of social change".
3. The end goal was the development of a "future society" controlled by a "technological-scientific elite" that uses systems approaches and cybernetics and omnipresent communication capabilities to manipulate and control the population to minimize social disruption.
When talking about social inclusion, one can distinguish between two basic target perspectives:
1. Inclusion into sport
Inclusion into sport focuses primarily on the introduction of under-represented, vulnerable groups to sport and the facilitation of the
capacity to act within sport. This mainly concerns:
- Sport for people with disabilities
– Gender equality in and through sports
– Inclusion of migrants and other disadvantaged groups in and
through sports
2. Inclusion through sport

The role of international organization in education policy and planningBiswajit Sarker
The document discusses the role of international organizations in education policy and planning. It provides an overview of several major international organizations involved in education including UNESCO, USAID, Save the Children, and UNICEF. It describes their key policies, objectives, and planning strategies. For example, it states that UNESCO advocates for universal primary education and developing curriculum internationally, while USAID focuses on access to education in crises and improving reading skills.
Globalization has impacted educational reform initiatives and practice in several ways:
1) It has led to increased standardization and universalization of education policies to meet global norms, as well as more diversity in policies to account for local contexts.
2) Major global conferences, like those focused on Education for All, have shaped education policies and goals for developing countries.
3) Concepts in education have been redefined due to globalization's influence, requiring new paradigms like Cheng's "Triplization Process" that emphasize globalization, localization, and individualization.
This document discusses challenges facing higher education institutions in relation to global development problems. It touches on key concepts like knowledge, globalization, development and internationalization in the context of higher education. Some important trends highlighted include an increasing dependency on knowledge worldwide and the role of "knowledge hubs". The document also discusses the potential for innovation in developing countries and challenges around knowledge circulation and ensuring knowledge is applied to benefit societies and address global problems.
The document summarizes emerging trends in development studies. It discusses how development has shifted from structuralism to constructivism with an emphasis on agency, institutions, and context over generalized theories. There is also a trend toward interdisciplinarity and recognizing development as multilevel rather than just national. Mainstream development now sees effective states and markets working in tandem through local institutions to empower people by meeting basic needs.
This keynote address discusses who decides what giftedness is, as definitions are influenced by various social and political factors beyond just academic research. The speaker aims to provide context on giftedness by addressing three issues: 1) the driving forces behind our interest in the gifted, such as economic and political ambitions, 2) how dogma and human nature influence research and definitions, and 3) the impact of culture on what giftedness means. In conclusion, recognizing social influences beyond just research is important for developing a sustainable understanding of giftedness.
Media in Authoritarian and Populist Times: Post Covid-19 scenarioAI Publications
This paper is analytical in approach and draws various conclusions from the present-day media and its functioning. Media plays critical role in strengthening of Democracy but at the same time can be impediment also if not properly managed and given enough freedom to operate. Media is also called the fourth pillar of Democracy and gives space to criticism, dissent and questioning skill to electorate against the people in power. This paper argues that media in times of populism and authoritarianism is in for a serious overhaul and change. Media is very difficult to be found independent and working in conducive environment. Populism and authoritarians stifles dissent and criticism and manages the media in order to sell its own agenda. Post Covid-19 this phenomenon has gotten worse and the pandemic has aggravated the situation.

Media plays a very significant role in the society. In fact, the media is involved in every activity that takes place in the society (Raiz, 2010). Media is a very important aspect of the current society because it is very helpful in strengthening our society. In every activity taking place in the society, media acts as a mirror in that it seeks to reflect on all activities taking place in the society. Mirror can thus be seen as a very important tool that shapes the lives of the members of the society. Generally, the media seeks to inform the members of the public on the currently faced affairs, the new affairs in the society, and even on subjects such as fashion and gossip, as they are important in the entertainment world. Media thus seeks to distribute information to individuals that are located in different places, geographically.
Media is, thus, responsible for several roles, which include promotion of marketing and trading of prejudices and products, since advertisements for most of the products in the market is done through the different media channels. The core governing values of the media are supposed to be equity an rigorousness but this is not reflected in the ways through which media operate since, the current state of the media is characterized by self-aggrandizement and greed, the two values that have played a greater part in the poisoning of equity and righteousness, which were the initial virtues of the media. In the society, the media is responsible for several important activities. These activities include dissipation of the information, provision of entertainment to the public, promotion of correlation of the several parts that constitute our society, education of the public domain, and promotions and advertisements.
Media thus, plays a great part in influencing of the society in multiple ways. For instance, media for masses enables the members of the society to create their opinions on certain matters of public concern ad also in making judgments regarding such matters (Khondker, 2011). Furthermore, it is through the media that members of the society gain information concerning things that are taking place, both at their location and other geographical locations that are beyond the reach of the people in a given geographical area. Media thus, plays a significant role in ensuring that people get the information on matters happening in their surroundings and also the matters being experienced around the world. Despite the good attributes of media in the society, the media has been pointed out to cause some negative impacts on the youth members of the society. This is based on the proven fact that the content of the media has brought disorientation on the personalities and dreams of many youths. Following wh.

Despite the good attributes of media in the society, the media has been pointed out to cause some negative impacts on the youth members of the society. This is based on the proven fact that the content of the media has brought disorientation on the personalities and dreams of many youths. Following wh.

A Corpus-Based Critical Discourse Analysis Of Pre-2019 General Elections Repo...Angela Tyger
This summary analyzes a research paper that uses corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis to examine how five Nigerian newspapers (The Punch, The Tribune, The Nation, Daily Independence, and The Guardian) reported on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the lead up to Nigeria's 2019 general elections.
The researchers created a corpus of 250 news reports from the five newspapers between June 2018 and February 2019. They analyzed the frequency and contexts in which the acronym "INEC" appeared across the corpora. The analysis found the newspapers did not report on INEC with the same biases, and their reporting set different expectations for how credible the elections would be.

In reality, many countries take education as the top priority to develop the country. Education is a prerequisite to help decide whether the country's economy develops or not, whether the society is stable or not, whether the country has many talents to serve or not. Therefore, education today plays a great role in the development of the country. That’s why we present here a case study on negative aspects of Vietnam education including: a criminal case study of posting fake news of Thanhnien.vn and Tuoitre.vn (online newspapers) in Vietnam. Next we present critical points on case of fake Professor – Tran Van Tho in State Professor Council (Trần Thọ Đạt -HĐGSNN) in limiting researches of scientists. As their behaviors are considered to violate privacy and science laws, their untruth news online has caused many troubles, disorder and misleading community and society.

Fake news detection for Arabic headlines-articles news data using deep learningIJECEIAES
Fake news has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. The evolution of social websites has spurred the expansion of fake news causing it to a mixture with truthful information. English fake news detection had the largest share of studies, unlike Arabic fake news detection, which is still very limited. Fake news phenomenon has changed people and social perspectives through revolts in several Arab countries. False news results in the distortion of reality ignite chaos and stir public judgments. This paper provides an Arabic fake news detection approach using different deep learning models including long short-term memory and convolutional neural network based on article-headline pairs to differentiate if a news headline is in fact related or unrelated to the parallel news article. In this paper, a dataset created about the war in Syria and related to the Middle East political issues is utilized. The whole data comprises 422 claims and 3,042 articles. The models yield promising results.
Hate Speech and Nigeria’s Struggle for Democratic Consolidation: A Conceptual...Premier Publishers
Fake news and hate speech are not new to Nigerian democracy. However, since the internet revolution in recent decades, 2015 is seen as the year Nigeria finally woke up to the threat of fake news and hate speech fueled by internet technologies that are subtly used to undermine democracy. Since then, whenever national, state or local council elections approach, Nigeria experiences tense and difficult times – conflicts, media propaganda, hate comments and false information – circumstances that are inimical to the nation’s democracy. Despite fake news and hate have become global concepts, peculiarities of nations and cultures democracies imply that context-based tools will be more suitable to provide evidence-based data on their impact on democracies. To provide an understanding of the call-for-research epistemologies being developed in Nigerian academic circles, this paper presents a critical review of a book chapter titled Fake News, Hate Speech and Nigeria’s Struggle for Democratic Consolidation: A Conceptual Review written by two Nigerian scholars: Prof. Umaru A. Pate (Bayero University, Kano, Nigeria) and Adamkolo Mohammed Ibrahim (University of Maiduguri, Nigeria) published 2020 by IGI Global. The chapter provides a further understanding on the impacts and processes of fake news and hate speech in Nigeria, especially during political activities.
Citizen journalism involves non-professionals collecting and reporting news and information, often online. It has expanded with new technologies but also poses challenges. A key example is coverage of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, where citizen journalists provided timely photos but also spread misinformation. Overall, citizen journalism can add new perspectives but may lack professional standards regarding objectivity and verification. It improves some aspects of news reporting during crises through wider coverage, but can also reduce news quality if not subjected to traditional journalistic practices and ethics.

Surveillance and Monitoring in the Social Media Era: Threats and Opportunitie...ijtsrd
Social media platforms are viewed as all progressive in opening up democratic spaces the world over. In the Middle East and North Africa region, social media platforms are regarded as key to the Jasmine Revolution that resulted in the fall of some regimes widely regarded as repressive by the international community. In Southern Africa, the hashtag movements saw youth shrugging off political apathy to challenge the establishment. Information Communication Technologies are refreshingly enticing the youth to participate and revitalize politics in the sub region. However, regimes in the sub region, traditionally comfortable with the hegemonic stringent hold on mainstream media, are becoming uncomfortable with these new developments and have resorted to legislation that threaten freedom of expression by citizens on social media as well as surveillance of citizens. This study is therefore going to establish societal views on state surveillance and monitoring of citizens' activities on social media. This is going to be executed through in depth interviews with media practitioners, scholars, political analysts, policy makers and ordinary users of social media platforms. Findings will be presented and analysed qualitatively and thematically.

The Pessimistic Investor Sentiments Indicator in Social NetworksTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
This document proposes a method to calculate a pessimistic investor sentiments indicator using social network data. It defines pessimistic investor sentiment as consisting of depression, disappointment, fear, anxiety, panic, dread and despair. The frequency of these sentiments is counted from social media posts. An entropy-based formula is used to calculate the indicator, taking into account expert-assigned weights. Applying this method to Chinese stock market data from March 2016 generated time-series values of the indicator that discriminated sentiment changes more clearly when incorporating the weights. The proposed indicator provides a quantitative measure of pessimistic investor sentiment from social networks.
New communication technologies and microfinance banking in nigeria critical r...Alexander Decker
This document discusses the role of social media in achieving microfinance banking goals in Nigeria. It begins with definitions of key concepts - microfinance banking, social media, and new communication technologies. Microfinance banks provide financial services to the poor and small businesses in Nigeria. The establishment of these banks in Nigeria is aimed at poverty reduction and economic development. Effective communication is important for the success of microfinance initiatives. The social media, as interactive online platforms, can play important roles in raising awareness of microfinance opportunities and monitoring the activities of these banks. The document suggests a two-step approach, using both web-based social media and traditional community groups, to inform potential microfinance clients about how to access these services.
The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Cyber ethics is the study of the ethics relating to computers, as well as to user behavior and what computers are programmed to do, and how it affects individuals and society. It is the branch of philosophy that deals with what is considered to be right or wrong. Since the advent of computers, various governments have enacted regulations and while organizations have defined policies about cyberethics. Cyberethics also known as “internet ethics,” is a branch of applied ethics that examines the moral, legal, and social issues i.e. ethical questions brought about by the emergence of digital technologies and global virtual environments. Arising with the introduction of the internet are, filtering, accuracy, security, censorship, conflicts over privacy, property, accessibility, and others.

hydra-headed. Bureaucracy is seen as an idea that is
both functional and dysfunctional (Ukeje, Ogbulu,
Eze, Ekwunife, Obi and Obasi, 2019). The focus here
therefore bothers on the influence of bureaucracy on
citizen journalism, examining the implication on
professional media practice.
Objectives of the Study
The following objectives guided the study:
1. To discover the influence of citizen journalism on
professional media practice
2. To ascertain the functions of citizen journalism
3. To find out the challenges posed by citizen
journalism to media practice
4. To determine the possible remedies to the issues
inherent in the practice of citizen journalism.
Citizen Journalism, Key Concepts and Issues
The history of citizen journalism is new. The growth
and development of citizen journalism has hugely
been facilitated by the emergence of the new media.
The new media technology has miniaturized the globe
in what Marshal McLuhan in MacQuail (2006) refers
to as the global village. This has aided immensely the
gathering and dissemination of information from
anywhere to everywhere. In all parts of the world,
news thrives on events. In many occasions, events
that border on conflicts, disasters and sentiments
carry newsworthy elements that command attention.
The report of such events are very crucial to the
development of citizen journalism as they are hastily
gathered and disseminated through blogs, twitter,
Facebook, WhatsApp and many other new media
powered by the internet. The development of citizen
journalism cannot be discussed without making
mention of the internet which powers these media of
information gathering and dissemination. It is also
called Web 2.0 journalism since its capability in
shaping journalism cannot be underestimated. In the
United States, debates about the history of citizen
journalism are traceable to alternative media and the
role of media in community development. In this
sense, citizen journalism is also referred to as civic or
participatory journalism. It is however observed that
the history of citizen journalism vary in different
contexts of its invocation. In nations of great political
upheavals, citizen journalism can be linked to the
struggle by individuals to disrupt the political and
media landscape by news sharing or getting involved
in intense public debate while another thought sees it
as the claim made by individuals about the legitimacy
of the media they produce. The belief that change in
the media industry is slow has also necessitated
citizen journalism in some climes (Mathson, 2017).
Shifting from this paradigm, RonRoss (2011) argues
that the history of citizen journalism is as old as
journalism itself, predating professional journalism by
about 200 years. This is predicated on the background
that two hundred years after the introduction of the
first newspaper in America in 1690, none of the news
writers were professional journalists because the
profession had not been created. The press men of the
day were just citizens who had the passion or
facilities for journalism.
Bureaucracy; a Discourse
Bureaucracy is a system of controlling or managing a
country, company or organization that is operated by
a large number of officials employed to follow rules
carefully. It is also an administrative system designed
to accomplish large-scale administrative tasks by
systematically coordinating the work of many
individuals. It can be said that bureaucracy is a
system of governance of offices and impersonal
administration. It is a system of administration which
a government can adopt to perform its systematic
duties (Ekwunife, Ukeje, Kalu and Robinson, 2020).
In spite of the benevolence of bureaucracy to any
government in maintaining order and competence,
researchers are of the view that it can cause a surge at
work due to the much restrictions, protocols and red-
tapism (Idike, Ukeje, Iwuala, Onele, Ekwunife,
Nwachukwu, and Ogbulu, 2019). It is also proven
that bureaucrats hardly consent to new method of
doing things, thereby becoming an abstraction to
innovation and change. Although following protocols
or obedience to laid down rules and regulations is
appropriate, sometimes due to the urgency of some
administration problems, some of these protocols may
need to be skipped. One problem with the
bureaucratic government is that the rigidity and long
protocols in its administrative system hinders the
achievement of certain objectives on time. In
journalism, it is believed that bureaucracy is the
greatest challenge to beating deadlines. Illustratively,
in a situation where a student of a university needs to
apply or inform the vice chancellor about an issue in
the university hostel, he has to write a letter, send to
the Head of the Department who in turn passes to the
dean for response who has to approve the letter before
it is sent to the Registry department, then to the
secretary of the Vice Chancellor before it is finally
delivered to be read by the Vice Chancellor. This
process sometimes could take days or weeks before
conclusion, and by that time, the harm that would
have been prevented might be irreversible. It could
also happen that one of the officials or gatekeepers
could be harshly affected by the outcome of the letter
thereby refusing to approve it to pass his/her table.
Many instances like this cause either a slow pace or
complete failure in the achievement of tasks.

“Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the
time when the quo has lost its status” (Peter, 2012).
This statement is not alarming since bureaucracy is an
embodiment of rigidity which hinders flexibility in
meeting the fast moving challenges of modern
governance. But in spite of the delay in
accomplishment of goals, bureaucracy also bears
some advantages. It is an obstruction to fraud,
corruption and embezzlement.
Citizen Journalism and Media Practice;
Challenges Imperative
Citizen journalism is that journalism conducted by the
people who are not professional journalists but who
disseminate information using web sites, blogs and
social media. It is the performing of journalistic
functions by non-journalistic professionals through
the use of the internet. Citizen journalism has the
philosophy of “you see it, you report it”. In this way,
everyone becomes a journalist thereby making the
journalism profession unprofessional.
An online entrepreneur in South Korea- Oh Yean-Ho
declared in the year 2000 that “every citizen is a
reporter”. Going by this assertion, there is no need for
specific people to ascribe themselves as those
qualified to report news. If this assertion becomes
generally accepted, it could lead to a season or age
when there would be no profession like journalism
since everyone is now a Journalist. It should however
be noted that doing something is different from doing
something well. Citizen Journalism is the traditional
journalism model turned upside down. Rather than
being the gatekeeper, it is just opening up the gates
and letting people come in without checks. Citizen
journalism is therefore very unconventional as it does
not submit itself to having every news story filtered
through the views of a small group of editors. By this,
citizens become their own reporters and editors,
nobody comes in between to edit whatever they feel
like publishing. This is a distortion of the original
practices of journalism.
When there is no gate-keeper to stand at the gate,
thieves and other criminals or unwanted visitors can
easily enter the house. So it is with journalism when
there is no check on what goes out as news. Harmful
elements or information could be spread out
(Ekwunife et al, 2020). Individuals could seize such
an opportunity to break media laws like laws of libel
and slander, sedition, publishing of obscene materials
and even invasion of privacy. And since there is no
check on what goes out as news, such contents could
be published to the endangering of the society.
A recent trend in citizen journalism has been the
emergence of what blogger Jeff Jeruis terms “Hyper
Local Journalism” as online news sites invite
contributors from local residents of their subscription
areas, who often report on topics that conventional
newspapers tend to ignore. This advancement without
bureaucracy could be very harmful to the traditional
media because it means that these online sites could
get the news first. It also implies that they could lose
their audience who may be interested in the reports of
citizen journalists who bring news from the local
areas. The implication is that the traditional media
would not be able to successfully compete with the
online media since they have abundant reporters in
different strategic areas where they see the event first
hand.
Individuals in disaster zones often provide instant text
and video reports from the scenes which the
professional journalists may not be close enough to
do. A typical show of the roles of citizen journalism
is in regards to one of its ancestors- Abraham
Zapruder, who filmed the assassination of President
John Fitzgerald Kennedy with a lone – movie camera.
In spite of this, it is recognized that citizen journalism
has a lot of flaws when it comes to objectivity and
quality. Some of the citizen journalists could be
activists within the communities they write about.
And due to the fact that they are not trained in the art
of reporting, their write ups could be lacking in
quality.
Though professional journalists do report news as
quickly as possible, they often initially source the
news from citizen journalists who have reported it via
social media. In fact, 51.8% of journalists according
to Cision in Ellie (2018) use social media to find and
build stories.
Citizen journalism via social media could therefore be
seen as the rawest and unprocessed form of
journalism. It provides eye witness and first-hand
account. It is the fastest channel for breaking news
and gives real-time information, which is what the
public wants. “Instead of rivaling social media, news
outlets are leveraging off the platform to reach a
wider audience online (AdilahRamli in Ellie, 2018).
This presupposes that social media or online media
does not necessarily challenge or threaten
professional journalism. An attempt at reconciling the
two however, shows that citizen journalism could be
complementary to traditional media (Ellie, 2018).
Professional journalism can benefit from citizen
journalism because it provides a wider range or
horizon directly and builds personal relationships.
Citizen journalism can provide the immediate news
that professional journalists can curate into stories
and spread far and wide, or professional journalists
can provide the news stories which social media can
trend on its media.

The two media, thus, can complement each other’s
weaknesses. Social media provides immediacy and
directness while professional media provide
objectivity, quality and accuracy. The working
together of these two media can bring about a better
and faster news gathering and dissemination process
to a wider audience. Hence, Sarah Hartlay of the
Guardian Newspaper observes that “New technology
enables normal people to do reporting. But new
technology also improves the monitoring quality of
journalism as well”.
Conclusion
Having seen citizen journalism as the collection and
analysis of news and information by the general
public, especially by means of the internet,
bureaucracy is a system of administration
distinguished by its clear hierarchy of authority, rigid
division of labour, written and inflexible rules,
regulations, procedure and impersonal relationship.
Following the entry here, citizen journalism is seen as
the opposite of Bureaucracy. Citizen journalism
dwells on the concept of every man’s right and ability
to do as he likes but bureaucracy brings in hierarchy,
regulations and procedures to be followed which
citizen journalism does not subscribe to as it seeks to
break the boundaries set by bureaucracy.
Media institutions that rigidly adopt the bureaucratic
system of administration would surely experience
conflicts in their governance, particularly in meeting
up with deadline. Also, a bureaucratic government
would operate a media which will be under serious
censorship and control. This was the case in the 16th
century England where the authoritarian theory of the
press placed a visible hitch on press freedom
(Ekwunife, Agbo, Nwachukwu and Agha, 2021:
Okunna & Omenugha, 2012). Limitation to what
would be published based on security of government
actions or official secrets may be beneficial to the
public but too revealing about government (Nwodu,
2006; Ndolo, 2011). In such a system, the
government may hinder the publication of news items
because it reveals evil deeds of a high ranking
official. However, this is something citizen
journalism has no regard for. It would simply publish
as it receives the information without any colouring
or editing. This also has far reaching implications on
governance as a society devoid of order and due
process is heading for chaos and anarchy.
The bureaucratic government would prefer that the
media be under its full control. But since citizen
journalism is not submissive, there would be a clash
of interest between the two. In countries affected by
political upheavals and countries in which the media
is being controlled by government, people have used
several technological tools like the internet and social
media to share information about vital events which
may not be reported in the traditional media. This
would seriously benefit the public but anger the
government (Ekwunife, Robinson, Ukeje, and Kalu,
2020).
Bureaucracy, Citizen Journalism & Sound
Governance; a Thematic Analysis
Influence of Bureaucracy on Media Practice
Bureaucracy means different things to different
people. People’s perceptions of bureaucracy as a
concept also come with their perceived encumbrance
posed by the concept. In every organization,
bureaucracy is seen as a phenomenon that conveys a
sense of procedural deliberations over decision
making. In media practice, Respondent A observes
that in keeping with bureaucracy, decisions ‘that
bother on on-air content or publication are made by
certain group of persons who pay undue attention to
administrative policies and organizational structures
without any sense of pragmatism’. Respondent D sees
bureaucracy as a constraint to efficient
administration; a bottleneck. It is simply the red tape
system that aims at protecting the state or
organizational interest through adherence to secrecy
so as to eschew any form of subterfuge that can be
harmful to administration’s security architecture. A
major challenge posed by bureaucracy in media
bureaucracy stems from the effect it has on news
content. The original news may be altered as it passes
through editors. This agrees with the thought of
Ekwunife, Ukeje, Kalu and Robinson (2020) which
posits that decisions that are not palatable to superiors
in an organization are suppressed in the practice of
bureaucracy irrespective of their truthfulness and
importance to the public. Respondent C however,
sees bureaucracy as a phenomenon that performs both
functional and dysfunctional roles. While the practice
of bureaucracy in journalism is perceived to come
with lots of hitches for the job, Respondent I opines
that adherence to bureaucracy points to the
checkpoints which a news story must pass through in
order to receive approval for dissemination for
audience’ consumption. These checkpoints bring an
air of professionalism into media practice by ensuring
adherence to ethical soundness. Respondent C is
specific about the fact that adherence to bureaucracy
in media practice can ‘save the hot and exuberant
reporter’. This points to the idea that editors who man
the gates of information dissemination can alter the
content of news stories submitted to them for so many
reasons which may relate to offensiveness to laws and
regulations. Even when the stories filed in to the gate
keepers are true, the house-style of the medium could
require that the stories be checked or the language

trimmed. Pictures may be removed or edited when the
reality offends public interest, value and conscience
such as the videos of the gruesome murder of
vulnerable women and children in southern
Cameroon which were circulated in the social media.
Likewise, publishing the naked pictures of accident
victims or showing the videos of the brutal and
gruesome murder of persons may be very injurious to
the bereaved family. Bureaucracy therefore saves
both the hot reporter and media station from facing
legal actions. Respondent B is particular about the
influence of bureaucracy on timeliness which is a
primary newsworthy element. In his opinion,
“Bureaucracy, or any such thing that affects
timeliness should be seen as an enemy. Therefore, the
greatest challenge resulting from bureaucracy is that
timeliness, being the life blood of the media is
adversely affected. In a competitive environment,
bureaucracy is avoided like a plague”. Respondent A
clarifies “Professional gate keeping sometimes
snowballs into bureaucracy that ends up putting your
outfit behind competition, which in turn affects your
financial results. Oberiri (2016) has also decried the
influence of gate keeping on the timely delivery of
news but still maintains that news stories without the
gate keeping process is void of professional touch and
is disposed as fake news. Supporting this view,
Ekwunife et al (2020, 3) write:
When there is no gate-keeper to stand at the gate,
thieves and other criminals or unwanted visitors can
easily enter the house. So it is with journalism when
there is no check on what goes out as news. Harmful
elements or information could be spread out.
Individuals could seize such an opportunity to break
media laws like laws of libel and slander, sedition,
publishing of obscene materials and even invasion of
privacy. And since there is no check on what goes out
as news, such contents could be published to the
endangering of the society.
Looking at the intricacies involved in bureaucracy, it
could be argued that the influence of bureaucracy,
otherwise called checkpoints on professionalism in
media practice is both functional and dysfunctional.
While it can enhance professionalism by giving a
professional touch to news content, it can as well
impede professionalism by altering the real news as a
result of certain interest.
Functions of Citizen Journalism in Media Practice
Despite differing opinions, empiricism has not held in
doubt the functions of citizen journalism to both
individuals, groups and the society at large (Ekwunife
et al, 2020; Ekwunife et al, 2021; Oberiri, 2016, Kalu
and Ekwunife, 2020). Respondents D and J are very
assertive about the functions of citizen journalism, to
the society and even to the mainstream media. Being
eye witnesses to events, Respondent D observed that
“Some of the most authentic versions of a story could
be found here because some of them are eye witness
accounts”. This is the idea behind citizen journalism
as i-reporting. Lending credence to this view,
Respondent G noted that citizen journalism is a form
of media practice where the preponderance of news
gathered is from eye witness. Here, ordinary citizens
who are not trained gather and send out reports
regarding issues springing up in their localities (Kalu
et al, 2020). This is powered by the internet which
enables them to send out messages from any part of
the world. Since the report is coming directly from
observers, the story is assumed unadulterated, having
transcended the treat or doctoring by bureaucracy.
Explaining this, Respondent J noted that there is truth
in the news content of citizen journalists. Respondent
E is particular about the vibrancy of citizen
journalism in the report of official corruption. This
view purports that the mainstream media are under
the control of the government through legal and extra
legal measures of press control, hence, cannot play
effectively the role of the watchdog. By implication,
citizen journalism is complimentary journalism in the
role of surveillance by the media. This is elucidated
by the view of Respondent E that even the
“mainstream media often times source their content
from citizen journalism”. Emphasizing timeliness’
which is central as newsworthy element, Respondent
B speaks “Believe me! Citizen journalism has the
speed required as newsworthy element. This is
because the disseminators of these pieces of
information do not undergo any check and with smart
phones, for example, stories are gathered and sent
out at ease”.
Challenges Posed by Citizen Journalism to Media
Practice
Speaking unequivocally, Respondent F observed:
The greatest challenge this could pose to media
practice is, for the most part, the media space is
choked with different versions of same story. There's
little room for censorship, which could be a bad thing
and a good thing. The downside of it is that a lot is
sacrificed on the slab of timeliness, topmost of which
is professionalism
Scholars (Kalu et al, 2020) have described citizen
journalism as fake news. This boils down to the fact
that many of the contents are not verified, facts are
not cross checked and there are often discrepancies in
the report of the same story coming from different
reporters. Since there is little or no censorship, this
has a far reaching implication on professional media
practice. Researchers (Ekwunife et al, 2021), hence
6. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470

have described citizen journalism as pseudo
journalism since it lacks the professional touch. In a
bid to be the first to send out the information, these
disseminators of information pay no attention to
professionalism. Their emphasis is on speed.
Respondent C laments that CJ has unedited contents.
This means that the public consumes information
which is toxic. This invariably defaces the image of
the professional media because in many occasion, the
masses may not distinguish between the mainstream
media and citizen journalists. Professionally, attention
is not paid to diction which is a hallmark of
professional media practice. This is described as arm-
chair journalism, characterized by rumour, fake news
and quackery. Corroborating this, Respondent H
fumes: “No professionalism. No morality. No target
audience. Diction isn’t given attention. It has very
serious damning consequences. Fine-tuning the
report makes it easier and better”. The consequences
of unedited media content cannot be over-flogged.
Oberiri (2016) explains that this is the primary factor
that disposes CJ as unprofessional. Language
management has been seen as a factor that makes the
practice of CJ unreliable. The idea is that while one
has something to say, the principles of effective
communication entail that words are carefully
selected and orchestrated to achieve set objectives.
The language of citizen journalists is seen as abusive,
not considering emotions and how consumers of
information receive them. Explaining this, some
respondents have alluded to the disheartening videos
of brutal killings of vulnerable women and children in
southern Cameroon, the tortuous killings of members
of the Nigerian Army in the net of Boko Haram
terrorists, the dismantling and dismembering of Boko
Haram captives by the Army, among others, all which
are circulated on social media. Some who storm into
these videos on social media suddenly fall sick while
others are emotionally battered. All this is as result of
not giving consideration to the language of contents
disseminated by citizen journalists who freely send
out any content they deem fit.
Respondents are of the view that the contents of posts
by citizen journalists are unprocessed, hence, an
unprocessed material is not a finished product; unfit
for consumption. Respondent G captures it this way:
“Raw information triggers curiosity. There is truth in
them but the handling is wrong which makes it
achieve the negative instead of the positive”.
Ekwunife et al (2020) support this view when they
observe that such contents do not pass through any
checkpoints, no gate-keeping and anything goes, that
citizen journalism thrives with crises related news and
the management of these news stories ends up fueling
crises and heightening tension, example, the news of
the recent xenophobia in south Africa and the
farmers-herders clash in Nigeria.
Remedies to the Effect of Citizen Journalism on
Professional Journalism
Respondent A maintains that information should be
verified before dissemination. Hence, “Information
should be tailored. Raw materials must be processed
into finished products. Checkpoints are necessary”.
Analytically, information disseminated by citizen
journalists are rather seen as raw materials which
have not been processed into finished products, hence
not fit for consumption. The importance of gate-
keeping in journalism has been emphasized as it
ensures that what needs to be removed is removed
while what needs to be added is added (Ferreira,
2018). This is the idea of professionalism which
bureaucracy pursues. Aside having a gate-keeping
process, Respondent G puts more emphasis on laws
and regulations while Respondent K is concerned
about sensitizing the masses to cross check facts for
misleading contents instead of accepting all contents
on face value. The idea of using laws and regulations
to checkmate media practice is supported by Ndolo
(2011), Ndolo (2015), Udeze (2012) and Bittner
(1989). Hence, an institution that does not operate
within the ambience of specified rules of conduct will
be given to anarchy, chaos and dirty practice.
Suggestion for Further Studies
Researchers with similar interest are encouraged to
research on the opinion of professional journalists on
the influence of gate-keeping on professional media
practice.
