Book excerpt: Freedom of the media, a subject of wide-ranging current international debate, is of vital contemporary importance in developed and developing countries alike. International and national guarantees of media freedom illustrate the increasing recognition of its importance; but demonstrate also the difficulty of balancing media freedom against competing interests. Nigeria, arguably the most influential of the new African states, is a richly revealing subject for the study of media freedom, for it combines a legacy of English colonial law with the recent adoption (in 1979) of a constitution loosely patterned on that of the United States of America: and which accords continued recognition to guarantees of fundamental rights (including freedom of expression) which were originally introduced before Nigerian independence (in 1960) and which served thereafter as a model for similar guarantees adopted by many of the new states of the Commonwealth. The thesis provides a brief overview of the laws which govern the media in Nigeria, and then examines selected rules in their constitutional context, considers their defects and analyses the extent to which they impose unjustifiable restrictions on freedom of the media. Recommendations are made for the reform of the law: in some cases, but certainly not all, by following English developments and - more generally - by adopting the approach taken in the United States of America to analogous problems of media freedom. The laws examined are those governing media licensing and regulation; sedition; defamation (civil and criminal); and contempt of court (especially the sub judice rule, publications 'scandalising' the court, the reporting of judicial proceedings by the media and the obligation of journalists to disclose the identity of their sources). Within each topic, the relevant Nigerian rules are described (with reference to both legislation and case law), important developments in the United Kingdom are analysed, and the approach of the United States of America to these questions is contrasted. In conclusion, it is submitted that Nigeria should adopt the various reforms suggested: and the significance of such development for other Commonwealth countries (with similar laws governing media freedom) is considered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the relationship between Nigerian military governments and the Nigerian press in the context of press freedom over a period of twenty-three years. The largely historical legal study focuses on four objectives to wit: to examine the laws (decrees and edicts) which defined the limits of press freedom during military rule in Nigeria; to draw together in one document the pertinent Nigerian case law in the area of press freedom during military rule; to identify and analyze the institutional, legal and non-legal measures and mechanisms utilized by Nigerian military regimes in controlling the press; and to identify and analyze the socio-political factors that influenced or affected press freedom during military rule in Nigeria.

Download or read book Freedom from the Press written by Cherian George and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades, the city-state of Singapore has been an international anomaly, combining an advanced, open economy with restrictions on civil liberties and press freedom. Freedom from the Pressanalyses the republic's media system, showing how it has been structured - like the rest of the political framework - to provide maximun freedom of manoeuvre for the People's Action Party (PAP) government. Cherian George assessed why the PAP's "freedom from the press" model has lasted longer than many other authoritarian systems. He suggests that one key factor has been the PAP's recognition that market forces could be harnessed as a way to tame journalism. Another counter-intuitive strategy is its self-restraint in the use of force, progressively turning to subtler means of control that are less prone to backfire. The PAP has also remained open to internal reform, even as it tries to insulate itself from political competition. Thus, although increasingly challenged by dissenting views disseminated through the internet, the PAP has so far managed to consolidate its soft-authoritarian, hegemonic form of electoral democracy. Given Singapore's unique place on the world map of press freedom and democracy, this book not only provides a constructive engagement with ongoing debates about the city-state but also makes a significant contribution to the comparative study of journalism and politics.
