New media technologies and their challenges to broadcasting in Nigeria

Description

Abstract

New media technologies and their challenges to broadcasting in Nigeria. The advent of broadcasting in Nigeria in the early 1930s brought a new lease of life to the communication sphere in Nigeria as it ushered in a new medium of expression and communication for the people of Nigeria. As the world expands, the need for development in the media of communication arose with a view to accommodating the expanding communication boundaries. With the introduction of new media technologies came more opportunities for the broadcasting sector in the area of media convergence. The challenges brought by these new media are so immense that no part of the world could afford to be left out at the turn of events. It, therefore, becomes expedient for the Nigerian broadcast sector to avail itself of the opportunities which new media technologies herald.
