Abstract

This paper examines development communication within the context of globalisation, focusing on how global economic, technological, and cultural flows have reshaped communication strategies for social change. It interrogates the shifting paradigms of development communication from linear, top-down information dissemination models to more participatory, dialogic, and rights-based approaches that emphasise inclusion, local agency, and sustainability. Based on the qualitative review of scholarly literature, policy documents, and selected development interventions, the paper assesses the influence of globalisation on communication practices, particularly the role of digital media, transnational actors, and global development agendas. The paper argues that development communication is no doubt an important area of both academic and professional endeavour where several approaches can be harnessed to ensure development. While globalisation is a vital concept that has impacted both positively and negatively in various parts of the world, the role of communication in the globalisation process is enormous. This paper dissects the relationship between communication, globalisation, and development by analysing the roles played by each in the actualisation of the other. Globalisation was also dissected as a concept taking into cognizance its double-edged nature and divergent ideas of various scholars about the concept. The paper then related the concepts of communication, development and globalisation, especially in a practical context and further explained how development communication operates in a globalised context. It concludes that development outcomes are more sustainable when communication processes are people-centered and when global development narratives are adapted to local socio-cultural and political contexts.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved into a transformative force in global journalism, reshaping newsroom practices, editorial workflows, and decision-making processes. This study examines the dynamics of AI-driven journalism in Nigeria, focusing on the challenges and prospects associated with its integration into newsroom decision-making. Drawing on secondary data from scholarly literature, industry reports, and media analyses, the paper situates AI as a socio-technical innovation that is redefining traditional gatekeeping roles and fostering a hybrid model of human–algorithm collaboration in news production. The paper identifies critical challenges hindering effective AI adoption, including infrastructural deficits, limited digital literacy among journalists, funding constraints, ethical concerns, and institutional resistance to technological change. It further highlights emerging risks related to algorithmic bias, misinformation amplification, editorial autonomy, and surveillance threats to press freedom. Anchored in Diffusion of Innovation and Technological Determinism theories, the paper argues that AI is not merely a supportive tool but a transformative agent influencing the structure and culture of Nigerian newsrooms. It concludes that sustainable integration of AI in journalism requires strategic investments in infrastructure, capacity building, and the development of ethical and regulatory frameworks. By critically examining both the constraints and potentials of AI-driven journalism, the paper contributes to ongoing discourse on the future of media practice in Nigeria and underscores the need for a balanced, human-centred approach to technological adoption in newsroom decision-making.
