INFLUENCE OF MEDIA OWNERSHIP ON PROFESSIONALISM

    This project is based on the theoretical and practical study of the media ownership on professionalism.
    In this work, I reevaluate the two types of the media-that is, government ownership and private ownership (Minaji System Television Obosi and Nigerian Television Authority Enugu) with a view to recommending a more effective ownership that is, the type of ownership that is geared towards attaining professionalism in media operations.
    Professionalism in media operation could be achieved by properly training and motivating media practitioners.  The ownership pattern of our media goes a long way in determining the rate of professionalism in media operation.  Different chapter of this talks more on this topic.
    In summary, media ownership i.e. government or private could be of help in boosting the rate of professionalism by setting out media polices and ethics that will guide the journalists or media practitioners in their duties.
