‘Watching the Watchdogs: Media Review at 20’ is a rich feast of ideas and reflection on the Nigerian media as canvassed on the pages of Media Review between 1991 and 2011. From the challenges of reporting to the ethical dilemma of working in a compromised setting, the book presents the Nigerian media in its nakedness and glory like no other book or institution has done. Subject heads include: Assault on press freedom, challenges of reporting, press history, press regulation, media law and ethics, information and reputation management, publishing economics, language and advertising. Interviews, book reviews and roundtable discourses complete the book’s rich literary harvest. The 431-page book will do well in the hands of media professionals, scholars, policy formulators, and discerning individuals who are interested in understanding the dynamics of the Nigerian media as an institution, industry and calling in search of defining identity.
