Reporting African countries in the Nigerian press : perspectives in international news
This paper examines the reporting of news about African countries with emphasis on quantity, quality and distribution in selected Nigerian newspapers. It also tries to find out the significance of the Commonwealth factor in the newspapers' reporting of foreign news. Major themes and directions of the news were also analysed. The findings indicate a clear reflection of Nigeria's foreign policy in the coverage of foreign news by the national newspapers. Africa is the most reported region compared to other regions of the world.
