Summary: Summary:
Mass Media and Communication practices in Nigeria have immensely contributed to national integration and development in the face of serious national, economic, social and politically inhibiting problems. The practitioners in the Nigerian Mass Media and communication spheres have attained a great deal of professional competence and efficiency in their various domains of activities such as the radio, television, print and other media of communication. They would seem to have successfully created a Nigerian mass media and communication practice phenomenon, peculiar to Nigeria and worthy of emulation by other nations of the world.
The present published set of four volumes of Stirling-Horden Encyclopaedia of Mass Media and Communication was meant to bridge the gap between indigenous curriculum, instructional materials needs, teaching and learning outcomes in the various sub-units that make up the Mass Media and Communication disciplines. The publications contain intrinsic Nigerian and global generic issues in mass media and communication disciplines. Nigeria boasts of indigenous scholars in almost all disciplines of human endeavour and the mass media and communication realms are no exceptions; this is apparent. The authors of the articles in the first four volumes of the proposed set of twelve volume Encyclopaedia of Mass Media and Communication are teachers and practitioners who are in the various academic departments and media houses of the universities that run such programmes in Nigeria. The publishing of these books is a marked demonstration of the greatness of our nation in this discipline. The depth, contents, style and insightful treatment given by the authors to the contents of the publications, in part, reveal the reason for the dynamism of the Nigerian journalists both in print and electronic media.
With these publications, these authors and teachers of journalism have further strengthened the foundation and framework for academic research and professional practice of journalism in Nigeria. They must be commended for their professional ethos, determination and the innovation that resulted in the publishing of these very relevant instructional materials. These publications would be found relevant for teaching, learning and research internationally. The first four volumes that make up the first set of the encyclopaedia cover four basic themes:
Volume 1: Historical and Theoretical Perspectives of Mass Media and Communication in Nigeria.
Volume 2: Principles and Practices of Mass Media and Communication in Nigeria.
Volume 3: Social and Entrepreneurial Imperatives of Mass Media and Communication in Nigeria
Volume 4: Technology Imperatives of Mass Media and Communication in Nigeria.
we are convinced that readers; students, teachers, researchers and the practitioners would find these publications relevant to their various needs.
