The Media Blog: This Premium Times interview leaves us a little – actually, a lot – uncomfortable

We read this interview in Premium Times 6 days ago that worried us – it worried us because it is wrong. But it also worried us because Premium Times usually aspires to do better. And it’s a news site. So the sensationalism isn’t really necessary. And it’s not fitting with its brand. So it’s just... Read More

The Media Blog: Rich Tanksley is leaving Pulse – and that somehow makes us sad

You don’t know Rich Tanksley. And frankly, if you’re just a consumer of the media, it doesn’t really matter. But if you’re maniacally following who’s up and who’s down in the media (which is the entire raison d’etre of our existence here), then he matters to you. Before Osagie Alonge came to Pulse, and grew... Read More

The Media Blog: CNN didn’t do anything wrong

Nigerians have been all over tne matter of CNN’s coverage of Mark Zuckerberg’s visit to Nigeria. The headline was innocuous enough: “Mark Zuckerberg makes first visit to Sub-Saharan Africa”. https://twitter.com/Social_Buddie/status/770699217140609024 Baba if na Boko Haram na Nigeria but for tech advancement na sub saharan africa! — Shobanjo Adebayo (@keduski) August 30, 2016 it shows you've...

The Media Blog: Ifan, the stylist just launched a magazine – but nobody has seen it yet

If you work in at that intersection of digital and fashion media, or if you are blogger who really know whats going on, then you know Ifan (Ifeanyi Michael). He is, essentially, a stylist. But he does just about everything else across that circle. No one has him figured out, but everybody likes Ifan –... Read More

The Media Blog: The Maverick is (really) good – but no one is watching (yet)

Has anyone seen any of the episodes of Accelerate TV’s The Maverick? We bet it’s a no. The YouTube views are poor; for a show that has run for almost 2 months. A paltry 1,481 views for all four episodes is enough to send any producer to Yaba, and never back. Why isn’t The Maverick... Read More

Andre Blaze is one of the finest on-air talents in Nigeria. Why Nigerian producers and content creators don’t seem to know is truly beyond us. Nigezie, which sadly went away from the spotlight, was the network that introduced us to him, and it sadly appears that as it went away, it took him with it.... Read More
