The study finds that Nigerian newsworkers are confronted with a professional dilemma because of contradictory notions of newswork that operate in Nigeria. On the one hand are their Western-derived libertarian orientations which encourage news media to act as a watchdog by overseeing government activities. On the other hand are national development needs which sustain a socio-political environment that encourages news media to act as agents of the government for the promotion of development policies and programs. |
