Abstract

Digital technologies and evolving practices among the audience have turned media convergence into a characteristic of modern communication. This paper evaluates the idea of media convergence by analyzing its historical background, theoretical underpinning, and how it is practiced today in the digital media contexts. It explains the various forms of convergence and the influence of the digital media in transforming the process of creating, distributing and consuming content. The paper describes the way in which audiences interact with converged media platforms and how media influence works in a networked society based on applicable communication theories. The paper further discusses how media convergence has affected journalism, entertainment and education and identifies some of the major issues that have emerged as a result of media convergence including information overload, concentration of media ownership and regulatory complexity. This paper concludes that media convergence is a dynamic and an evolving phenomenon that keeps altering media practices and institutions in an ever more interconnected media environment.

Abstract

This paper examines the role of social media in shaping political communication during the 2023 general election campaign in Nigeria. It investigates how political actors, parties, and citizen networks used digital platforms to disseminate messages, mobilise supporters, counter opposition narratives, and influence public opinion. Secondary data was used to generate relevant information on social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp, to identify communication patterns, strategies, and audience engagement behaviour. The paper argues that social media served as a critical arena for agenda-setting, political persuasion, real-time interaction, and participatory discourse, while also amplifying misinformation, emotional appeals, and polarising content. The paper concludes that social media significantly reshaped Nigeria’s 2023 campaign landscape by expanding political reach, enhancing youth participation, and redefining how political messages are produced, circulated, and contested. Nigerian political candidates have endeavoured to navigate the complex social media landscape. Initiatives such as fact-checking organisations and partnerships with digital influencers came as countermeasures to misinformation and targeted messaging.
