Depending on how much in a rush one is, there has always been conflict between accuracy and speed since the emergence of mass media in the 19th century.\u201dThe difference is that the new media, in its rush to be in real time in the news, seems more wired to sacrifice accuracy on the altar of speed than the old media.\u201dAs a result, online journalism tends to be less reliable than the offline journalism and on this ground, it can be argued that online journalism is less mature than the mainstream journalism.\u201dIn his remarks, Emeka Mba, the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission, described online journalism as a media for the coming generation.Mba, represented by Malam Awwalu<br \/>\nSalihu, the Director of Public Affairs of the NBC, also\u00a0 urged online publishers to focus on credibility, accuracy\u00a0 and professionalism so as to meet the needs of the society.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1436397834842_80393\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, Max Amuche, the Publisher of Sundiata Post online newspaper, said credibility and professionalism would continue to be the watch word of the platform.Amuche said the publishers had set up a unifying body \u2013 the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers \u2013 to ensure that the activity of the media is\u00a0 self-regulated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1436397834842_80391\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">NAN<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, on Tuesday in Abuja, urged online publishers to ensure credibility in order to secure the future of online&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
