International News Organisations as a catalyst for Global News Flow in Nigeria

Abstract

International news organization is, no doubt, a sine qua non for effective
global news flow in the world. This stems from the fact that international
news organization is the major news contributor and distributor to the
major broadcast stations and agencies around the globe. The
international news organization has undergone tremendous changes
since the mid-1990s. Various factors have contributed to this
transformation. This work examines the role of international news
organizations as a catalyst for a global news flow using Nigeria as study
base. The use of descriptive method puts the researcher in the position to
draw conclusion that international news organization is very effective
and supportive in the news flow in Nigeria and the world at large. The
work further affirms that international news organization is the only
viable and efficient in the world wide dimension of news flow, and is a
veritable tool for many broadcast stations and print media in the world.
Hence, developed countries should make cable satellite equipment
affordable to the developing countries.
