Media organizations and journalists should campaign for the protection of whistle blowers who reveal wrongdoing through the adoption of a Whistleblowers Protection Law. Such an open environment will ultimately make it easier for media professionals and organizations to gather information, which is critically important to their operations and survival. Transformation of State Media into Public(Service) Media Journalists should campaign for the transformation of state- owned media into genuine public service media, with independent governing boards and secure sources of funding, to guarantee their editorial independence and insulate them from political interference. This will make it easier for media professionals working in such establishments to function independently and will give greater assurance to the public that the information they are getting from these outlets are reliable. Legal and Institutional Reforms Media organizations and individual journalists should campaign for adoption of other laws and institutional reforms to enhance journalism practice in areas where they are required, such as, for instance, to protect journalists' confidential sources and journalistic materials. Strengthening Professional Bodies Professional bodies in the media, particularly the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Nigerian Guild of Editors(NGE), need to be reformed and strengthened to enable them overcome the influences of government, politicians, big business, etc. and position them to confront the internal pressures on journalists. The Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria(NPAN) and the Broadcasting Organizations of Nigeria(BON) need to be engaged to ensure prompt payment of salaries and decent wages for journalists and other workers in the employment of their members. Protection Mechanisms Journalists should establish monitoring and protection networks among themselves and with civil society organizations to monitor attacks on journalists, issue local and international alerts on the attacks as well as provide other forms of support. Civil society organizations should also be engaged to assist in campaigning on behalf of journalists or media organizations under attack and possibly offer legal and other forms of assistance to such journalists or media organizations.
