Abstract

The Nigerian media landscape is undergoing significant transformation as journalists confront the complex task of balancing individuals’ rights to privacy with the public's right to information. This seminar paper explores the constitutional, ethical, and practical tensions inherent in navigating these dual responsibilities. Anchored in the legal provisions of Section 37 and Section 39 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, the study critically examines how journalists interpret and apply these rights in practice. The analysis extends to the evolving role of social media, investigative journalism, and digital reporting, which have further complicated the ethical boundaries of journalistic practice. Drawing on legal frameworks, professional ethical codes, and illustrative case studies, the paper identifies the key challenges and dilemmas confronting Nigerian journalists, including invasion of privacy, sensationalism, and the erosion of public trust. It concludes with actionable recommendations aimed at promoting ethical balance and accountability within the media sector. These include the reinforcement of ethical training, the development of newsroom policies on privacy and public interest, and greater awareness of media law among practitioners. The paper underscores the urgent need for a journalism culture that respects individual rights while fulfilling its democratic duty to inform the public.

Abstract

This study examines the gendered framing of political campaigns in selected Nigerian newspapers, focusing on how media narratives portray male and female political candidates and the implications for public perception and gender equity in political participation. Using content analysis, 120 newspaper articles, 30 each from The Punch, The Guardian, Vanguard, and ThisDay were analyzed to identify patterns in representation. The findings reveal a persistent reliance on stereotypical framing that reinforces traditional gender norms, thereby constraining women’s political engagement. By highlighting the role of media in shaping political discourse, the study advances understanding of how journalistic practices can either perpetuate or challenge gender bias in Nigeria’s political arena.

Abstract

This study investigates the gendered framing of political campaigns in selected Nigerian newspapers, with a focus on how media narratives shape public perceptions of male and female political candidates. Utilizing content analysis as the primary methodology, the research examines 120 newspaper articles, 30 each from The Punch, The Guardian, Vanguard, and ThisDay. The objective is to assess the nature of media representations and their implications for gender equity in political participation. The findings reveal a persistent pattern of stereotypical framing that reinforces traditional gender norms, often portraying female candidates in terms of their personal lives, emotional attributes, or appearance, while male candidates are predominantly framed around competence, leadership, and policy issues. This imbalance in representation contributes to the marginalization of women in political discourse and may serve as a barrier to their full participation in the political process. The study offers critical insights into media bias and underscores the need for more gender-sensitive media policies and practices. It contributes to the broader discourse on media influence, political representation, and the intersection of gender and journalism in Nigeria.
