Abstract



In the process of national development, Nigeria has made several attempts at
establishing democratic governance. It accepts a multiparty system as one of the requisites of democracy. But as a political entity, the country also has to grapple with the problems associated with its multi-ethnic structure. The purpose of this article is to examine how the mass media can help in the sustenance of multiparty democracy within the country's multi-ethnic structure.
