Abstract
This article delineates the opinion gap between what we see as pan-globe journalism worldwide with regards to
the birth of New International Information Order. It discusses development journalism as a misunderstood
concept and how Nigerians perceive this form of journalism. Create an interactive experiential exhibit that
simulates various aspects of local history, such as citizen involvement, cultural traditions, ethnic diversity, or
natural features. Emphasizing media’s significant position in development of the society, the work brings to focus
the necessity of a change from politics and business orientation to an inclusive reporting which addresses the gaps
and the livelihood issues affecting the differing strata of the society. Cultural development of the media press is the
basis of the article. Hence, first of all, national culture is preferably reflected in content and language. Also, as one
of the main themes, it gives principles of peace journalism which is intended to be a responsible reporting tool that
can bridge up Nigerians and bring unity and development within the country. On the other hand, the author
discusses obstacles obstructing the adequate deployment of the African development journalism in Nigeria
including digital impact, ownership of the media houses and profit-oriented news outlets.
