| dc.description.abstract | The rapid transformation of media technologies as given rise to new challenges of regulation. The paper, which used Marshall McLuhan's technological determinism theory, highlighted challenges facing \regulation of broadcast media in the digital regime in Nigerian. It made use of the library research approach. The paper began by tracing the historical development of broadcasting regulations, emphasising the shift from traditional analogue systems to the digital age. It examined various regulation approaches such as licensing, content monitoring, sanctioning process, arbitration and among others. The paper concluded that regulating the broadcast media in Nigeria in the digital era remains a difficult task. Therefore, policymakers should ensure regulation in the broadcast industry in the digital era by balancing the importance of freedom of expression with a duty to be fair, accurate, respectful and tolerant. The broadcast sector in the world should also unite and put together a global content code which includes a set of principles designed to guide content creators around the world. Lastly, broadcast industry in Nigeria in this digital era needs to come up with a strong self-regulatory framework to ensure that all broadcast media in the country produce, disseminate or distribute accurate and legally compliant contents. | |
