DOWNLOAD EBOOKMass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways. Although being on top of the news may be good, at least for news junkies, mass media also transmits values or the lack thereof, condenses complex events and thoughts to simplified sound bites and often ignores the essence of an event or story. The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJournalism was imported into Africa from the West. However, this does not mean that the ethical principles on which African journalism is based should be similarly imported. In this collection, numerous mass communication specialists outline the ethical problems and solutions in the arena of African journalism. Opinions differ: on who should be blamed for the lack of morals among African journalists - the journalist, the employer, the politicians or the general public; on which form of ethics is most suitable for Africa - deontological, utilitarian, situational, or a combination of some or all of these; on the best ways to build ethical principles within the profession - through education, through legislation, or through reliance on journalistic good will.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Nigerian telecommunications industry has continued to grow in a phenomenal manner following market liberalization reforms that commenced in the 1990s. As of 2017, the telecommunications industry was one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in Nigeria and the fourth largest contributor to the country’s Gross Domestic Product. The telecommunications industry, however, remains a highly technical and naturally dynamic industry that has not been a usual area for legal research in developing countries such as Nigeria. This book bridges that gap in knowledge by providing an analysis of the legal and policy instruments that regulate the industry. It comprises eleven chapters that discuss the historical evolution of telecommunications and its regulation; the development of the Nigerian telecommunications industry from 1886 to 2017; the legal basis for the regulation of the industry; the licensing and duties of service providers; the regulation of network infrastructure; the protection of consumers; the regulation of competition, interconnection, universal access, and environmental protection; and the resolution of industry disputes. This book will be useful to policy makers, legislators, regulators, lawyers, law students, investors, operators, and consumers, as well as any person interested in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.
