20910329 public opinion and the media in singaporeAisyah Bagarib
This document is an essay analyzing whether the media in Singapore reflects existing public opinion. It examines the political, ideological, and moral censorship imposed by Singapore's authoritarian government. While the traditional media does not accurately portray political opinions due to these restrictions, some evidence suggests the media reflects public views in other areas. Specifically, studies found that Singaporeans generally support existing censorship of entertainment content and the government effectively shaped media coverage during the 2003 SARS outbreak. Additionally, the internet provides a less restricted space for alternative viewpoints. Overall, the essay concludes the traditional media in Singapore does not reflect public opinion on political issues due to the controls of the authoritarian state.
Impact of news commercialization on nigeria broadcasting commission communica...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on the impact of news commercialization on broadcasting policy in Nigeria. It finds that news commercialization has become common practice in Nigerian media, with stations charging fees to cover events. This negatively impacts media credibility and turns public service broadcasting into a tool for the rich. The study recommends that regulatory agencies enforce broadcasting laws and ethics to ensure media houses prioritize public interest over profits.
Community radio and nigeria’s national security exigencies fears and promisesAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a research paper that examines the potential promises and fears of establishing community radio in Nigeria to address national security challenges. It provides context on the state of community radio and broadcasting in Nigeria and other African countries. It also outlines Nigeria's current national security situation, noting threats from Boko Haram, militants, kidnappers, and rising public frustration exacerbated by issues like corruption, poverty, and ethnic/religious tensions. The paper aims to explore how community radio could help mitigate security risks if carefully managed, while also acknowledging fears it could worsen tensions without proper oversight.
This document discusses issues and challenges with professionalism in Nigerian journalism. It begins by defining journalism and the criteria for a profession. While journalism in Nigeria started earlier than the nation, it lacked regulation and professional standards. Early journalists did not see it as a career and lacked training. Issues identified include a loose definition of membership, lack of qualifying tests or standards, and no accepted body to enforce codes of conduct. To restore credibility, the author argues gaps between education and practice must be bridged, membership criteria clarified, and better compensation implemented.

Challenges of democratization at the grassroots in nigeria case study of tar...Alexander Decker
This paper examines challenges to democratization at the local government level in Nigeria, using Taraba State as a case study. The key findings are:
1. The Nigerian constitution establishes elected local governments but they lack autonomy and are heavily influenced by state governments. Taraba State's electoral commission is skewed in its representation of local government areas.
2. Taraba has held local elections irregularly, conducting only two between 2002-2011. The ruling PDP party dominates election outcomes.
3. Voter registration data shows a large increase in registered voters over a short period, raising doubts about the integrity of voter rolls. Citizens perceive the nomination and election processes as not being open or credible.
This document provides a summary of the media status in Nepal. It discusses:
1) Basic facts about Nepal's population, languages, religions, and literacy rate.
2) The current political situation including the dissolution of the first constituent assembly, the election of the second assembly, and key issues delaying a new constitution.
3) Details on the state of media in Nepal including numbers of newspapers, radio and TV stations, online sites, journalists, and challenges like attacks on press freedom and self-censorship.
4) The Federation of Nepali Journalists' seven priorities including ensuring journalists' safety, promoting press freedom in the new constitution, capacity building, and lobbying in the constitution-
Press freedom is important to ensure transparency in democratic societies and allow the media to publish matters of public interest. However, for press freedom to be meaningful, people must understand their right to information and hold the media accountable. Media literacy educates the public on the media's role in reporting truthfully and reflecting society, while empowering people to demand coverage of important issues and bring ignored stories to light. Promoting media literacy and citizens' right to information helps create a well-informed public and strengthens democracy.
More Media, Less Democratisation of Public Access and Participation: A Concep...Premier Publishers
In Nigeria, the public broadcast media system was originally designed to be in the forefront of promoting human development, democracy, peaceful coexistence, transparency, rule of law and serving as mediators of the public sphere. However, the public broadcast media in the country have not been successful in playing these roles fully when compared to the print media, for example. Apart from being in predominantly urban areas, public broadcast media in Nigeria are largely elitist and heavily commercialised in their programming and content. Hence, factors such as deregulation, liberalisation and commercialisation of the broadcast media industry have impacted negatively on how public broadcast media are perceived by the audience and other players in the industry. This paper seeks to analyse the effect of deregulation and commercialisation of the broadcast media in Nigeria since 1992 on public broadcast media’s accessibility and public participation for a broad range of segments in society, the rich, the poor, marginalised groups and women. Using critical discourse analysis approach, extant literature was critically reviewed, and a theoretical framework was conceptualised for adoption in future research. Recommendation for future research is given at the end of the paper.
11.community journalism in nigeria global technological reflectionsAlexander Decker
This document discusses community journalism in Nigeria and how new media technologies could help promote development. It notes that unlike other African countries, community radio is still in its infancy in Nigeria due to a lack of legal and policy support from the government. The paper recommends integrating community media like radio with new technologies to bring information to rural communities that have been neglected. It argues that community media based on a development media theory could facilitate grassroots development by addressing local issues and promoting local culture if given the proper support.

This document discusses a study that examines the comparative effectiveness of traditional and modern media in grassroots campaigns led by Nigeria's National Orientation Agency (NOA). The study surveyed 915 people in southeast Nigeria on NOA's use of town criers, newsletters, radio/TV, and other means to communicate its messages. The findings showed that while a blend of traditional and modern media is important, the modern media were more effective at influencing audiences. However, the communication strategy was found to be defective, and the government was seen as neglecting citizen views in its plans. The researchers recommended the government improve socioeconomic conditions, monitor feedback better, and incorporate public perspectives into policies.

This document provides an executive summary and introduction to a research report on the rise and impact of youth citizen journalism in Singapore. The report examines how citizen journalism has affected youth political participation, purchasing behaviors, and opinions. It conducted surveys of 801 Singapore youth ages 18-35 on their consumption and perception of citizen journalism versus traditional media. Key findings included the impact of citizen journalism on raising political interest and shaping views of the 2011 general election, as well as its influence on youth purchasing habits compared to traditional media. The introduction provides background on citizen journalism, from its definition to how it started and different forms it takes locally in Singapore, particularly semi-independent sites like STOMP.
Bureaucracy and Citizen Journalism Issues and Challenges Imperative for Media...ijtsrd
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.

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.

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.

This document discusses constraints to youth empowerment and national development in Nigeria. It identifies several key constraints facing Nigerian youth: lack of quality education, limited youth participation in research and data collection, high unemployment and underemployment rates, widespread poverty, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, discrimination against girls, and a digital divide. These constraints have hindered Nigerian youth from meaningfully contributing to national development and created conditions that can lead youth to engage in deviant behaviors. For Nigeria to achieve stability and development, it is critical that these obstacles facing youth are addressed and their potential is harnessed.

This document discusses the changing roles of media consumers and producers in the new media landscape. It provides background on traditional definitions of media consumers as those who passively consume news and entertainment. However, with new media, the lines have blurred as consumers can now also actively generate and spread content. The document examines case studies that demonstrate both the positive and negative impacts this can have, such as how media was used to incite genocide in Rwanda but also help rebuild the country. It explores the relationship between media, government, and politics in Singapore and questions whether control of information benefits societies. Overall, the document analyzes how new media is neither entirely good nor bad and has complex effects.
This document discusses the relationship between media and foreign policy. It defines media and foreign policy, noting that media aims to reach mass audiences and foreign policy outlines how countries will interact globally. Media influences foreign policy through shaping public opinion, setting agendas, and justifying or marginalizing certain issues. The document provides examples of how Pakistani leaders and media have influenced public opinion to support foreign policy goals. It concludes that Pakistani media is growing more powerful and its relationship with foreign policy is still delicate.
This document summarizes a report on gender equality and empowerment of women through information and communication technologies (ICT). It discusses how ICT can promote development but the benefits have been uneven, with a "digital divide" between men and women in access to technology. While ICT could potentially exacerbate inequalities, addressing the gender gap in access and skills can empower women. The document reviews UN efforts since 1995 to promote women's participation in ICT and identifies strategies to close the gender divide.
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT Dr Lendy Spires
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT “The so-called digital divide is actually several gaps in one. There is a technological divide great gaps in infrastructure. There is a content divide. A lot of web-based information is simply not relevant to the real needs of people. And nearly 70 per cent of the world’s websites are in English, at times crowding out local voices and views.
There is a gender divide, with women and girls enjoying less access to information technology Introduction ICT and development The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a tool for development has attracted the sustained attention of the United Nations over recent years. Strategic partnerships have been developed with donors, the private sector and civil society, and working groups and task forces have been established to enhance inter-agency collaboration throughout the United Nations system. In 2000, the Economic and Social Council adopted a Ministerial Declaration on the role of information technology in the context of a knowledge-based economy.
In 2001, the Secretary-General established a high-level Information and Communication Technologies Task Force to provide overall leadership to the United Nations on the formulation of strategies to put ICT at the service of development.2 The Millennium Declaration adopted in 2000 underscored the urgency of ensuring that the benefits of new technologies, especially ICT, are made available to all.

The speaker expresses fear and uncertainty about another person's intentions, as they are given conflicting messages about whether to embrace or fear this person. While this person sometimes makes the speaker feel alive, they are also told this person could destroy them. The speaker wants clarity on whether to stay close or distance themselves from this person, as they are scared of how this person impacts their spirit.

communication For Development And social ChangeFatima Muritala
The document reviews a book about communication for development and social change. It discusses how the book highlights the relationship between communication, development, and social change. However, the book does not critically examine the causes of poverty or how it can be eradicated. It also views poverty from different perspectives and discusses how communication models and technologies have been used to address poverty by involving local communities. While the book explains development theories and approaches, it does not achieve explanatory dominance with the perspectives it presents. It also discusses UNESCO's role in communication for development programs that promote free expression and media pluralism.

The speaker enjoys privileges like kisses, meals, transportation to and from school due to their father's wealth, but recognizes not all children have the same luxuries and some parents work hard with less. While the speaker is privileged to have a wealthy father who provides for them without working, they understand other families work to make ends meet as some are rich and some poor, but that all parents are amazing regardless of positions or wealth. The speaker expresses gratitude and love for their amazing father.
A person lives in a world where some people are naturally inclined to help and care for those less fortunate. These kind people seek out others who understand the nature of those in need and give them tasks to help without burdening society. They provide education to calm anger and spread light instead of darkness. After searching from North to West, these kind people found the speaker and erased brutality, giving them purpose and reason to live even when they thought others would die with them. The speaker now helps others live as well, and is grateful for being given life again when they thought it was lost.
You choose your friends and reject some people, forgetting that everyone is special. With harsh words meant to tear others down, you give them a view of themselves that can damage their spirit and vision. Though you hurt others who live around you, they will quietly watch for your weaknesses, learning from every harsh word spoken as poison slowly takes effect. In the end, without showing integrity and respect for all people, you may find yourself alone with no friends if your selected friends abandon you.
