Abstract
The development of radio and later television brought a new dimension to news and events coverage in Nigeria.
In 1993 the monopoly of government was broken to allow private participation. This gave the broadcast
audience multiple choices of media. The advanced technology in the broadcast media and the development of
internet and social media networks further exposed the society to alternative mediums of information. The
pervasiveness of these websites in our everyday lives is today changing the face of broadcasting globally and in
particular the Nigerian broadcast industry.
