Newspapers published in Nigeria have a strong tradition of the principle of "publish and be damned" that dates back to the colonial era when founding fathers of the Nigerian press such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ernest Ikoli, Obafemi Awolowo and Lateef Jakande used their papers to fight for independence. Until the 1990s, most publications were government-owned, but private papers such as the Daily Trust, Nigerian Tribune, The Punch, Vanguard and the Guardian continued to expose public and private scandals despite government attempts at suppression.

  • Newspapers published in Nigeria have a strong tradition of the principle of "publish and be damned" that dates back to the colonial era when founding fathers of the Nigerian press such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ernest Ikoli, Obafemi Awolowo and Lateef Jakande used their papers to fight for independence. Until the 1990s, most publications were government-owned, but private papers such as the Daily Trust, Nigerian Tribune, The Punch, Vanguard and the Guardian continued to expose public and private scandals despite government attempts at suppression. Laws related to the media, including newspapers, are scattered across various pieces of legislation. There are few good sources of discussion and analysis of these laws. Some Newspapers depend heavily on advertisements that may be placed by companies owned by powerful people. In some cases, this makes the papers cautious in reporting details of crimes or suspected crimes, and sometimes they carry articles that paint clearly corrupt individuals in a favourable light. An analysis of newspapers shows a strong bias towards coverage of males, reflecting prevalent cultural biases. Few articles discuss women and there are few photographs of women outside the fashion sections.Although earnings have declined since the late 1980s the number of publications has steadily grown. As of 2008 there were over 100 national, regional or local newspapers. Online newspapers have become popular since the rise of internet accessibility in Nigeria; more than ten percent of the top fifty websites in the country are devoted to online newspapers. Due to improved mobile penetration and the growth of smartphones, Nigerians have begun to rely on the internet for news. Online newspapers have also been able to bypass government restrictions because content can be shared without the need for any physical infrastructure. The result has been a disruption of the traditional sources of news which have dominated the media industry. Recent online newspapers include Sahara Reporters, Ripples Nigeria, and Premium Times.

  • Les journaux au Nigeria utilisent pour beaucoup le principe de « publier et être damné », qui remonte à l'époque coloniale, lorsque les pères fondateurs de la presse nigériane tels que Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ernest Ikoli, Obafemi Awolowo et Lateef Jakande utilisèrent leurs journaux pour combattre pour l’indépendance. Jusqu'aux années 1990, la plupart des publications appartiennent au gouvernement, mais des journaux privés tels que le Daily Trust, le Nigerian Tribune, The Punch, Vanguard et The Guardian continuent d’exposer les scandales publics et privés malgré les tentatives de répression de celui-ci. Les lois relatives aux médias, y compris les journaux, sont dispersées dans différents textes législatifs. Certains journaux dépendent fortement des publicités, qui peuvent être placées par des sociétés détenues par des personnes puissantes. Cela rend parfois les journaux prudents lorsqu’ils communiquent des détails sur des délits avérés ou présumés, jusqu’à parfois publier des articles montrant des personnes corrompues sous un jour favorable (journalisme dit « à enveloppes brunes »). Une analyse des journaux montre un fort biais en faveur de la couverture des hommes, reflétant des biais culturels répandus. Peu d'articles parlent des femmes et il y a peu de photos de femmes en dehors des sections liées à la mode. En 2008, il y avait plus de 100 journaux nationaux, régionaux ou locaux. Les journaux en ligne sont devenus populaires avec l’augmentation de la couverture Internet au Nigeria ; plus de 10 % des cinquante premiers sites Web du pays sont des journaux en ligne. Grâce l’amélioration de la pénétration mobile et de la croissance des smartphones, les Nigérians ont commencé à utiliser Internet pour s’informer. La presse en ligne a également pu contourner les restrictions gouvernementales grâce aux facilitées de partage. Le résultat a été une perturbation des sources d'information traditionnelles qui dominaient l’industrie des médias. (fr)
