| dc.description.abstract | This study is concerned with a content analysis of news stories in the Daily Times of Nigeria over a period of 18 months, from August, 1983 to February, 1985. The primary aim of this study is to show that the content of news stories in the Daily Times is male dominated, that there is a tendency to portray men as politican/ public official than as professional in the news content of the Daily Times, that news stories about women are more likely to appear on the inside and middle pages of the Daily Times, and that news stories in the Daily Times are more likely to portray women in the human interest roles and activities than in any other roles. This study is also to encourage further research and empirical knowledge about the policies and directions of mass communications in Nigeria and also provide some data for research for studying the media and dealing with the public, especially the female members of the Nigerian society. | |
