Uncertain prospects for democracy -- The emergent independent press -- Journalism values and the African press -- Civic cynicism -- Consolidating democracy -- The Nigerian press and the First Republic -- Military coups and press/public support -- Press reembrace of democracy -- Civic cynicismand disordered democracy -- Combating civic cynicism -- Postscript: A groundswell of social capital.

This book explores the thesis that civic cynicism in African countries is a major obstacle tothe consolidation of democracy, and that the African press should address the problem not just amongleaders, but also among the general populace. Finding that corruption has extended from leaders andgovernmental institutions to the populace itself, the author asserts that the growing independent press needs to intensify its critique of the public attitude and civic orientation, the fertile soilon which corruption in public life has thrived.
