“This book is a bold attempt at addressing the freedom and independence of the press in Africa, with a particular focus on Nigeria, a country that is often labeled as corrupt by local and international media alike. … an incredible read and should be mandatory reading for anyone studying African media systems, reporting African news stories, or working for African media houses.” (Africa Policy Journal, apj.hkspublications.org, April 21, 2021)
