Abstract

The study investigates public comments and reactions on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, focusing on the mixed responses generated on Twitter. The aim is to explore how the late monarch’s life, reign, and legacy are perceived and discussed, considering both truth and misinformation. Drawing from Agenda Setting and Framing theories, the research examines select public comments using hashtags like #QueenElizabethdead, #QueenElizabethII, and #QueenElizabeth. A mixed-method content analysis was employed, identifying themes based on attributes such as Type of Social Media, Source of Story, Frame of Story, and Tone of Story. The results reveal varying public sentiments, ranging from reverence to critique, highlighting polarized perspectives on the monarch’s legacy. These findings contribute to ongoing philosophical debates regarding the nature of truth, the portrayal of legacy, and the societal impact of prominent figures at death. The study concludes that the discourse surrounding Queen Elizabeth II’s death reflects deeper social tensions and provides insights into the role of framing and agenda-setting in shaping public opinion on prominent historical figures.

Abstract

This research investigates the impediments faced by Nigerian journalists in upholding press freedom. Employing a mixed-methods approach that incorporates scholarly literature, legal documents, and media reports, the study identifies both legal and extra-legal challenges journalists encounter. Hinge on Libertarian Media Theory, these challenges include restrictive legislation, political influence, economic hardship, societal prejudices, safety concerns, self-censorship, and threats to media autonomy. Methodologically, the paper used a mixed-methods approach, combining analysis of scholarly literature, legal documents, and media reports with in-depth interviews with NUJ members. The interviews explored journalists' experiences with legal and extra-legal challenges, and the data were analyzed to identify themes. The research also explores the Nigerian Union of Journalists’ (NUJ) role in supporting journalists and press freedom. Findings from in-depth interviews with NUJ members reveal the significant impact of these constraints on media professionals. The study concludes with a call for increased engagement and proactive measures to address the systemic issues undermining press freedom in Nigeria. Among the recommendations, the research emphasizes the need for legislative reforms to revise or repeal outdated laws that restrict free expression. This effort should involve collaboration between government officials, legal experts, and civil society organizations to ensure alignment with international standards.

Abstract

This study sought to analyse ethical concerns of social media in Nigeria. The theoretical framework adopted is the Source Credibility Theory. The study employed Critical Discourse Analysis. The population of the study consisted of the top four (4) social networking sites in Nigeria. Out of these, Twitter was purposively selected for its widespread use for youth activism, particularly within the context of the #EndSARS protest; and for being the only social media platform the federal government had temporarily banned for ethical violations. A convenient sample of ten (10) tweets, which included retweets with text and images posted both during and within 18 months after the protest, was used to collect secondary data. Findings demonstrated a mix of ethical and unethical use of Twitter within the context of the protest. The result also revealed that although Twitter is a credible source of information, there were instances of anonymous tweets, which cast some doubts on the credibility of that specific source. The study recommends that beyond social media regulations, there is a need for the promotion of media literacy in Nigeria’s workplaces and educational system. In addition, the form of self-regulation inherent in African ethics should be applied by users of social media to facilitate harmonious communication. This study has made a modest contribution in the area of source credibility theory by proposing a conceptual framework within the context of the study.
