Media Policy Briefings

Published by Nigeria Community Radio Coalition, an umbrella body for community radio development activities comprising about 200 organisations and individuals in Nigeria, the Media Policy Briefings are an ongoing publication series on the development of media policy and community radio in Nigeria. The series is designed to provide information and education to stakeholders and the general public within and outside Nigeria on issues essential to the development of a sustainable community radio sub-sector in the country.

The first edition of Media Policy Briefing reviewed key issues and policies relevant to community radio development. The second issue builds on the foundation laid by the first edition by focusing on digitisation of broadcasting, one of the most current and prominent issues on the communication landscape. The third issue looks at salient issues in Nigeria's broadcasting laws and the fourth issue focuses on the country’s broadcasting policy reform efforts.
