This study was guided by the following objectives to ascertain the level of commitment of media owners and employees (Journalists) towards ensuring effective gathering and dissemination of information in the country, to identify the problem affecting press freedom in the information act era in South West Nigeria and to aim at actualizing absolute press freedom in Nigeria. Literature materials from erudite scholars were reviewed and analysed. The theories used for this project are Development Media Theory and Libertarian Theory. In getting the response from the respondents, questionnaire was employed as the primary source of data. The questionnaire is divided into two sections. Section A contained questions aimed at knowing the respondents bio-data while Section B contained research questions aimed at achieving the research objective. To know this, 150 copies of questionnaires was administered to critically examine the topic. The study concludes that if a nation must experience development, it must not adhere to material advancement, threats, restrictions and corruption, instead, it should conform to growth, progress and freedom. Press must therefore be free of all sorts of constraints so that press freedom will be made an absolute reality in Nigeria. Also, the government must make sure that the economy of Nigeria is stable so as to meet up with other developed countries across the world. The government should not dictate for the media what to do and or where to cover events. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit»Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc)
