THE PRINT
MEDIA, CARTOONS AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN NIGERIA
CHAPTER ONE
1.1
INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Cartoons are non verbal graphic
communication channels that express the opinions, views and findings of a media
organization.
They are used to advance an
opinion in funny ways and are often based on current, burning and topical
issues. They are used basically to educate, inform and entertain the audience
by the print media (Emi, 2008).
Also, the need for
investigative journalism has placed emphasis on the watchdog role of newspaper
due to the fact that there are two sides of human namely: the godly and the
animalistic side of human to behave in good manners but the animalistic side of
the human is the evil side which can be seen in different wrong doings or
atrocities of man.
It also shows the human urge to
dominate, satisfy base instincts of huger, wealth acquisition and their evil or
erotic desires.
Human beings are expected to be
rational but their rationality cannot always guarantee good conduct because
most times, the animalistic tendencies in them prevail.
Hence the needs for mass media
to expose evil and t bring perpetrators to justice so that the human societies do
not become the animal kingdom and full of evil.
There is also the need to check
the excesses of the powerful or privileged people against the less privileged
ones to hold rulers accountable to their people to bring about social reforms to
expose crime and other wrong doings and to act as voice for the voiceless etc.
(Aina 2001).
Also, the belief in the saying
that Nigeria is one of the most corrupt nation of the world is not an
exaggeration. International organizations have consistently testified to this
undeniable fact to confirm the claims of these organizations, the country has
witnessed different types of corrupt practices. This must have baffled the past
regime led by chief Olusegun Obasajo so much that he thought it is necessary to
establish organizations that could fight corrupt practices among citizens two of
these organization are independent corrupt practice commission (ICPC) and the
Economic and Financial crimes commission (EECC). After operating for few years,
many have come to describe these as an organization of toothless bulldog.
The only organizations that
Nigerians can fall back on or depends on, is the press which has been battling
corruption with its in-depth news reporting opinion, comments, editorial,
editorial cartoon etc.
Watson, (2008) Says that the
media is prominent among the public arbiters for our behavior. Many have also
found cartoons on newspaper to be equally up to the task of acting as the
society watchdog. This is what the researcher hopes to answer.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The study will examine the
effects and significance of crime illustration in enhancing the role of print
media cartoons as watchdog in Nigeria and the quest for development.
It is to ascertain the impact
of comic illustration on readers and the level to which cartoons have acted as
watchdog of the society.
1.3 1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
1. To know the frequency of cartoons in the
print media
2. To determine if print media cartoons can
actually pass information
3. To
determine the extent at which newspaper cartoons can identify
culprits/evildoers
4. To also determine whether print media
cartoons can serve as the mouth piece of members of the society.
5. To evaluate how social reality is
constructed through the use of newspaper cartoons in the print media.
1.4 1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. How frequent do we see cartoon in
the newspaper?
2. Do newspaper cartoon identify or reveal
the true identity of culprits or evil doers?
3. Do people actually find newspaper
cartoons meaningful?
4. Do newspaper cartoons serve as the mouth
piece of the society?
5. Do the captions of the newspaper cartoons actually perform the
watchdog role in the society?
1.5 1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
There are
certain newspapers that features cartoon in Nigeria. It is thus to analyse the
entire print media .
1.6 1.6 SIGINIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
significance of this study in the field of mass communication is that it helps
to determine the effect of mass communication message and media content on the
people. It also helps to play an intermediary role between what is true and our
experience, especially those beyond our constant. It also acts as the windows
to the walls of information.
The significance of this study
to the society can be traced to the Lasswellian media function of surveillance
of the environment i.e. the journalistic service of collecting, dissemination
of information of news by surveying the environment through monitoring trends,
talks or giving early warning signals of an impending danger, reporting evil
deeds that have been done, etc.
