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.

Abstract

Climate change represents one of the most pressing global challenges, with far-reaching impacts across social, economic, and environmental systems. However, its effects are not evenly distributed, as existing inequalities shape differential vulnerabilities among populations. This paper interrogates the gendered dimensions of climate change, arguing that women and marginalised groups particularly in developing countries, experience disproportionate impacts due to entrenched socio-economic, cultural, and political disparities. Based on secondary data from the existing literature, the study highlights how climate change exacerbates challenges related to health, food security, water access, livelihoods, education, and exposure to violence, thereby reinforcing gender inequality. Anchored in framing theory, the paper analyses how media representations influence perception, agenda-setting, and policy prioritisation. It argues that the media serves as a powerful agent in raising awareness, amplifying marginalised voices, and promoting gender-sensitive narratives that can drive inclusive climate action. Through illustrative case studies from Nigerian print media, the paper demonstrates emerging efforts and best practices in mainstreaming gender into climate reporting, while also identifying gaps in representation and depth of coverage. The paper concludes that effective climate action requires the integration of gender perspectives into communication, policy, and practice.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital communication technologies has significantly transformed the ways in which global audiences access and interpret international news, with social media platforms emerging as dominant channels of information dissemination. Within this digital ecosystem, internet memes have evolved from mere entertainment artifacts into powerful tools of communication that shape political discourse and public opinion. This paper examines the role of internet memes as instruments of international coverage of the Gaza War, exploring their capacity to simplify complex conflict narratives, influence audience perceptions, and contribute to the framing of global events. Within the context of the existing literature, the paper conceptualises memes as participatory media forms that combine visual and textual elements, enabling rapid circulation, emotional engagement, and ideological expression across diverse audiences. Using Framing Theory, the paper analyses how memes selectively present aspects of the Gaza conflict, emphasizing particular viewpoints, emotions, and interpretations while potentially marginalising others. The paper argues that memes function as alternative communicative frames that can both legitimize and delegitimize political actors, amplify humanitarian concerns, and foster global solidarity. At the same time, their brevity, humor, and symbolic nature pose risks of oversimplification, misinformation, and ideological distortion, particularly within the fast-paced and algorithm-driven environment of social media. The paper concludes that internet memes occupy a dual position as both facilitators of engagement and potential sources of distortion in international conflict reporting. As digital culture continues to evolve, memes will remain central to how global audiences consume, interpret, and respond to international events.

Abstract

Football remains one of the most influential sports globally, attracting massive audiences and significant media attention, with over 250 million players and 1.3 billion followers worldwide. In Nigeria, the sport holds deep cultural significance, serving as a unifying force that fosters national identity, social cohesion, and economic opportunities through media broadcasting, sponsorship, and youth engagement. Despite this prominence, the development and recognition of football in Nigeria are marked by persistent gender inequalities. While men’s football enjoys extensive media coverage, structured leagues, and substantial sponsorship investment, women’s football—despite notable achievements such as the dominance of the Super Falcons in African competitions—remains underrepresented and underfunded. This study critically examines disparities in media coverage, sponsorship, and public perception between men’s and women’s football in Nigeria. Drawing on secondary data and supported by Agenda-Setting Theory, the paper argues that the disproportionate visibility given to men’s football by Nigerian media shapes public attitudes, reinforces cultural stereotypes, and influences the allocation of financial resources in favor of male teams. The findings reveal that limited media attention, biased reporting patterns, and unequal sponsorship structures collectively marginalize women’s football, restricting its growth and diminishing its competitive potential. The study concludes that without deliberate efforts to ensure balanced media representation and equitable investment, gender inequality in Nigerian football will persist, undermining both the development of the sport and the broader goal of gender inclusion.
