“Voices from within covers the strides Nigerian journalism has taken over the years. Ethics, the Active Newsroom under eagle eyes of its field marshal called the news editor, the specialists on the features desk, the columnist who insists on putting a clumsy world right, the leader writer who believes he has a monopoly of wisdom; photojournalism, cartooning, all of this is fully addressed in the essays. This book is a must for all institutions where Mass communication is taught, as well as for those who want to satisfy the counsel by Alexander Pope that we should drink deep; there is depth in the Voices from Within provided here by experienced professionals who have seen it all” 

—Alade Odunewu, former Chairman, Nigerian Press Council.
