Environmental reporting in Nigerian newspapers: a longitudinal study

Nature has endowed man with many resources that if properly harnessed, would enable him to live comfortably on the earth. Over the centuries, the use and abuse of these resources has led to their depletion. As the 21st century draws near, people have become more sensitive to the effects of a degraded environment on their lives. The main tool for this sensitization is information. This study is devoted to the coverage of environmental information in four nationally distributed newspapers in Nigeria. The newspapers were studied over a 10‐year period to ascertain the level of coverage. Analysis showed that the energy sector is the most reported of all environmental issue and that noise pollution is the least reported environmental category. Suggestions are made on how to improve the level of environmental awareness among Nigerians.

微论办好权威性报纸——文化大发展角度下的小观察及思虑

"全国百强报纸"(大报)是主流媒体与文化圣地,是投送先进文化、文明的主阵地。大报科普要准确、科学,其文章不能频有恙。报人工作当严慎细实,以确保大报细节和大报的文化品质;文章或科普闪失较多,大报的"高度"、影响力将降低。大报的文品要与文化大发展、文化慧人、文化强国及诉求相匹配,完善细节,保持文化厚度、深度乃大报发展之路。出版大报应十分地用心、认真,编校文章须巨细无遗、面面俱到,报人要用力地办好大报。

Personalized, interactive news on the Web

We present Krakatoa Chronicle, an interactive, personalized newspaper on the World Wide Web implemented as a Java applet. The newspaper is similar in appearance to newspapers in the real world, with a multi-column layout and justified text. At the same time, it provides various interaction techniques for browsing the content of articles, giving relevance feedback, and dynamically changing layout. As users interact with the system, individual ‘user profiles’ are built up at the webserver site. These are used to tailor the newspaper's content and layout to each user's declared and inferred preferences. The system allows for a balancing of personal and community interests, allowing the user to navigate through a space of newspapers corresponding to a range of viewpoints.

Fabrication of and performance studies on a low cost solar cooker having an inclined aperture plane

A low cost box-type solar cooker made of two paper carton boxes with crumpled newspaper balls as insulation has been fabricated with a tilted aperture plane. Comparative tests of this cooker have been conducted against a normal type costlier solar cooker with 1000 ml load of water in each of the cookers. It has been observed that on a sunny day water temperature initially increases more rapidly in the new cooker compared to the normal type cooker. But at temperatures higher than 90°C both the cookers perform similarly. Two figures of merit F₁ and F₂ have also been found to be satisfactory. An arrangement of low cost auxiliary heating using a 100w electric bulb inside a blackened metal casing allows the carton box cooker to reach cooking temperatures under cloudy conditions with ease when the normal type solar cooker fails. The cost of materials for the new cooker is within US $10 and has been observed to be as effective as the normal type solar cooker which requires between US $40 and $65 to fabricate.
