MIMS S-3 - Ep. 8 - Politicians, Journalists And The Battle Over Questions

MIMS S-3 - Ep. 8 - Politicians, Journalists And The Battle Over Questions When Nigerian politicians and broadcasters clash during live interviews, the confrontation can quickly overshadow the issues the public needs to understand. Using recent exchanges involving Segun Sowunmi on Channels Television and Lere Olayinka and Rufai Oseni on Arise News, FAJ examines the responsibilities of both politicians and journalists. How can broadcasters ask tough questions without becoming combative? How should political representatives respond to uncomfortable but legitimate scrutiny? And what happens when public interviews become contests of ego rather than opportunities for understanding? As Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections, one principle must remain clear: the public deserves informed questions, honest answers and professional conduct. Make It Make Sense with FAJ — No bias. No propaganda. Just sense. - #MakeItMakeSense #Nigeria #Journalism #MediaEthics #PressFreedom #PoliticalCommunication #PublicAccountability #Nigeria2027
