EXAMINING THE ROLES OF NIGERIA MEDIA DURING THE ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTEST IN NIGERIA (A CASE STUDY OF JOURNALISTS)
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The EndBadGovernance protests, which began in Nigeria in July 2024, represented a significant moment of public dissent against economic and governance issues. The media played a crucial role in shaping the narrative of these protests, influencing public perception, and providing coverage of the events. Journalists, in particular, were at the forefront of reporting on the protests, navigating challenges related to safety, government pressure, and media freedom. Media coverage of protests can impact public opinion, mobilize support, and influence political outcomes. In Nigeria, where media freedom and press conditions can vary, understanding the role of journalists during such high-profile protests is essential for assessing the media's impact on social movements and democratic processes.
Examining the roles of journalists during the EndBadGovernance protests offers insights into the challenges they faced and the contributions they made to the protest movement. This study aims to highlight how media coverage can affect public discourse and the functioning of democratic institutions. This study focuses on evaluating the roles of Nigerian journalists during the EndBadGovernance protests, exploring their contributions to the movement, the challenges they encountered, and their impact on public perception and protest dynamics.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While the EndBadGovernance protests were widely covered by the media, there is a need for a detailed analysis of the specific roles and experiences of journalists during this period. The problem addressed by this study is the lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the contributions of journalists to the protests and the challenges they faced in their reporting.
This study seeks to provide a nuanced perspective on how journalists navigated their roles during the protests, the strategies they employed, and the impact of their reporting on the protest movement.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
- To assess the roles and contributions of Nigerian journalists during the EndBadGovernance protests.
- To identify the challenges faced by journalists in reporting on the protests.
- To evaluate the impact of media coverage on public perception and the overall dynamics of the EndBadGovernance protests.
1.4 Research Questions
- What roles did Nigerian journalists play during the EndBadGovernance protests?
- What challenges did journalists encounter while reporting on the EndBadGovernance protests?
- How did media coverage by journalists influence public perception and the dynamics of the EndBadGovernance protests?
1.5 Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it provides an in-depth examination of the role of journalists in a major social movement. Understanding the contributions and challenges faced by journalists during the EndBadGovernance protests offers valuable insights into the intersection of media, social movements, and democratic processes. The findings will be useful for media practitioners, policymakers, and scholars interested in the role of journalism in social change and the protection of press freedoms during periods of unrest.
1.6 Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The scope of this study includes an analysis of the roles and experiences of journalists during the EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria. It covers aspects such as reporting practices, challenges faced, and the impact of media coverage. The study is delimited by its focus on journalists and does not include an analysis of other media personnel, such as editors or media owners. It relies on secondary data sources, including media reports, interviews, and academic literature, and does not involve primary data collection or interviews with journalists.
