NIGERIA 4.10 Journalists and other media practitioners are organized in trade unions and/or professional associations. ANALYSIS: Emphatically so. There are several active media associations and trade unions which organize to protect the interest of their members and even partner with donor agencies to organize training for their members. The Nigerian Union of Journalists and the Nigerian Association of Women Journalists (NAWJ) are prominent and visible associations in this respect. The “Nigerian Guild of Editors organises an annual All Editors Conference with workshops paid for by sponsors. The NUJ is still embroiled in an internal argument about an accreditation system with a fee between 5.-10.000 NRN and the mentioned dispute about it becoming a professional association rather than a mere union.
