Abstract
This study entitled “A Comparative Study of the Adoption of Internet Tools by African Independent Television-AIT and Nigerian Television Authority-NTA Network Service was carried out as qualitative and quantitative survey research aimed at exploring the adoption of internet tools in newsgathering and transmission in modern day mass media broadcast field with the view of assessing the extent of its adoption and effectiveness in the selected television stations. The research adopted the census survey research design for a population of the study which comprised of mostly ICT inclined journalists in NTA Network, Abuja which has a total number of 110 ICT inclined journalists and AIT, Abuja which has a total number of 74 journalists totaling 184. The close-ended and open-ended questionnaire and interview questions guide were used as instruments of data collection. From the analysis of the information and data collected it was found that Internet broadcast Technologies like IPTV Probe, Mware, Netup TV, U-Stream, and Skype are used for webcasting, streaming and Voice-Over-the Internet-VOIP for newsgathering and transmission via the online platforms by both stations, although there is more of such usage by AIT than NTA. The study also found that the adoption of Internet Protocol Television-IPTV in the two television stations namely AIT and NTA were considered significantly effective although both stations are faced with challenges of poor broadband services and IT skills of reporters, paucity of funding and erratic nature of power supply. Based on this findings, the study recommends that the stations should have better broadband facilities and infrastructure as well as employ, train and retrain media workers with new multitasking skills relevant to modern day newsgathering and transmission practices. Furthermore, the use of VoIP’s like Skype and Google+, Facebook, video call, to mention a few would not only provide for the immediacy of reach to news sources but also make interview and needed actualities on topical discourse most timely and more exclusive. Thus, the study concludes that the adoption of this technology for newsgathering and transmission capacity and capability of the two Nigerian television stations is seen as a welcome development since global and continental broadcast television stations have already adopted these technologies, the country must not be seen to be lagging behind.
