Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication is changing rapidly around the world, particularly in Africa, where citizens are embracing digital technologies not only to improve not only interpersonal communication but also the state of their financial well-being. This book investigates these transformations in Nigeria’s booming communication industry. The book traces communications in Nigeria back to pre-colonial indigenous communications, through the development of telecommunication, broadcasting networks, the press, the Nigerian film industry (‘Nollywood’) and on to the digital era. At a time when Western voices still dominate the academic literature on communication in Africa, this book is noteworthy in drawing almost exclusively on the expertise of Nigerian-based authors, critiquing the discipline from their own lens and providing an important contribution to the decolonisation of communication studies. The authors provide a holistic analysis of the sector, encompassing print journalism, broadcast journalism, public relations, advertising, film, development communication, organisational communication and strategic communication. Analysis of the role of digital technologies is woven throughout the book, concluding with a final section theorising the future of communication studies in Nigeria in the light of the digital media revolution. Robust in its theoretical and methodological underpinnings, this book will be an important reference for researchers of media and communication studies, and those working on Africa specifically.

Book excerpt: In today’s age of extraordinary technological development, the mass media industry must constantly innovate and adopt emerging concepts to keep up with the demand of online visibility and prominence. Interactivity is a distinguishing feature of the current online environment, and is a necessity in maintaining relevance in digital media sphere. The growing impact of new media technologies and the resulting pressure on mass media organizations to incorporate more audience involvement have made interactivity a particularly sought-after phenomenon throughout the industry. The prominence of online interactivity has resulted in anxiety throughout the mass media industry regarding the ways in which media organisations can engage with their audience and maintain a high level of traffic on their websites. Attaining these heights largely depends on the quality and nature of interactivity on a given site. This book provides insights into the interactivity basics of an ideal media website, and highlights the nature of interactivity in the Nigerian online media sphere vis-a-vis the basics of interactivity.
