Abstract

This study assessed the influence of unhealthy competition among radio stations in Imo State and how it affects their adherence to broadcast ethical standards. This study was anchored on the Social Responsibility Theory. This study employed a mixed-methods research design that made use of a survey and an in-depth interview. The population of the study comprised 180 NUJ members in Imo State. The instruments for data collection were the questionnaire and an in-depth interview guide. Findings showed that station owners and their journalists understand the ethical codes of their profession. At an average mean of 2.8 radio stations in Owerri, they can uphold the ethical standard of their profession by creating a sustainable image before their listeners, sticking strictly to the NBC and NUJ ethical codes and the punishment of defaulting journalists in their station, taking personal decisions, and sticking by them to be the best change they want to see in the world even as they do their day-to-day work. It was concluded that the establishment of more radio stations in Imo State makes existing radio stations struggle in their fight to keep up with NBC ethical standards, even as they are confronted with competing radio stations here and there. The researchers recommend that station owners and their staff should be up in their game to be unique, irrespective of other radio stations coming to join them for the same or similar clients and profits. This will go a long way toward making their staff formidable to face the worst of situations.

Abstract

The study investigated practitioners' adherence to Lagos State, Nigeria's public relations code of ethics. The study was anchored on the two-way symmetrical model of PR and absolutist ethical theory. The investigation adopted an in-depth interview research method. The researchers reached out to 10 PR practitioners in Lagos. The researchers utilized the purposive sampling technique, and the interview guide was used as the data collection instrument. It was revealed that PR practitioners are vastly knowledgeable about the existing code of ethics governing PR practices in Lagos state and, by extension, Nigeria. Also, the result indicated that there is a low level of adherence to the code of ethics.  It was recommended that strict regulatory principles and actions be enforced on erring PR practitioners in Lagos state to deter others from breaking or twisting the code of ethics of PR practices and serve their agenda.

Abstract

  This paper aims to describe how in recent times, the issue of insecurity in the southeast of Nigeria is alarming. People are no longer safe as they have become targets for the perpetrators of insecurity within the region. In all of these cases, people must be fully aware of the level of insecurity in a specific location in order to determine the next course of action. In order to achieve this, this study examined the use of new media to communicate insecurity in Southeast Nigeria. The study was founded on the premise of technological determinism.  In this research, a survey research approach was used. Using the Wimmer and Dominick sample size calculator, a sample of 384 was generated from the study's population of 22,012,828. A questionnaire was utilised as a data collection tool. Meanwhile, the multistage sampling procedure was used. Data was analysed with the use of descriptive statistics and pie chart. The finding showed that 51.0% of respondents had been exposed to insecurity messages via new media to a very large extent. It was also revealed that on an average of 74.8% (N=367), new media has been used in communicating insecurity among residents in southeastern Nigeria to a very large extent. It was recommended that new media users should be sensitized on the need to use the platform appropriately or with a sense of responsibility instead of using it to fuel more security problems within the southeastern region of Nigeria.
