| Falana delivering his Lecture |
“The ethical and moral objectives of the media anywhere in
the world is to present balance and fair reporting to the people so they can be
in a position to reach a conclusion, but in a mere colonial capitalist
environment where the media are exclusively or largely owned by those who have
accumulated wealth through questionable means, you hardly can get serious
reporting.” This is the submission of Barrister Femi Falana on how the Nigerian
media is biased in its coverage of the upcoming elections at the first Annual
Public Lecture Series of the School of Communication and Liberal Studies
(SC&LS) of the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH) Ikorodu, tagged 2015
Election; Legal and Ethical Issues in Media Reporting.
