Abstract

The present state of information gathering, collation and dissemination in the newsrooms of media houses in Nigeria is appalling. Unlike what operates in the developed nations of Europe and America, not much achievement is being recorded in the area of Internet development of newsrooms and updating the technological skills of journalists in Nigeria. This research is an analytical study of the state of Internet compliance among media practitioners in Nigeria, and its deployment to media use. Indices for measurement include availability of internet facilities in newsroom, percentage of staffs that are internet compliant, percentage of internet time devoted to newsgathering, and the frequency of internet related trainings for journalists. The application of Chi-Square shows a dismal level of compliance as all the null hypotheses were rejected at 5% level of significant with the degree of freedom of 9.
