KperogiLanguage: EnglishSubtitle: Citizen Media, Democracy, and ParticipationISBN-10: 1580469825Description: In a disruptive media landscape characterized by the relentless death of legacy newspapers, Nigeria's Digital Diaspora shows that a country's transnational elite can shake its media ecosystem through distant online citizen journalism.2021 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Winner.Over a decade ago, when Nigeria's migratory digital elite in the United States pioneered a new fangled form of online citizen journalism that disrupted the certainties of legacy journalism, the country's professional journalists assumed that this amateur insurgency would be transitory. Instead, it was transformative. Diasporic online citizen journalism is now not only an integral part of Nigeria's media ecosystem, it has also inspired successful homeland emulators and is challenging, even in some cases supplanting, traditional media in the nation's democratic discourse. Within the frenetic and deeply engaged social media scene, diasporic citizen journalism, homeland news, and social media activism are merging to create the most energetic moment in Nigeria's media history. Nigeria's Digital Diaspora chronicles the emergence and transformation of this diasporic citizen journalism from the margins to the mainstream of the country's journalistic landscape.Country/Region of Manufacture: USBook Series: Rochester Studies in African History and the DiasporaGenre: HistoryItem Weight: 1gRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
