Abstract
The study examined the Effect of Government Ownership on the Performance of Nigeria Journalists (A case study of Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State).The assertion that says “he
who pays the pipers dictates the tunes”, agreed more with this study because
there are lots of government controls and influence on Nigerian journalists especially
those working with the state media. Government dictates to journalists what they
should and should not broadcast. It is believe the most of the government media
journalists have been turned to their secretary and public relations while
government has also turned media to her extension of ministry of information
that cannot but support her activities dogmatically. Survey method was adopted
with the use of 100 questionnaires out of which 90 were returned upon which the
analysis was based.
