“…This kind of strategy was brought out mainly by male journalists (especially those who work as investigative journalists) who emphasize the need to keep their families safe. It somewhat goes together with what other researchers (Chinweobo-Onuoha et al, 2022; Miller, 2021) have claimed.…”

Our study describes how hostility reaches journalists and their reactions to the experiences. Semi-structured interviews with 18 Estonian journalists were conducted in 2021 from June to December. We divided journalists’ experiences into personal, professional, and organizational domains. One key observation is that journalists cannot avoid work-related hostility, even when off-duty. In addition, as one journalist receives hostility in a myriad of ways, there is a necessity for a multilevel approach when teaching about coping with or preventing unnecessary hostility from reaching journalists. Our mapping can be used when preparing students for occupational hazards or developing journalism curricula.

“…The process continued and lasted for 1 month until all the participants were recruited. Recent studies (Chinweobo-Onuoha et al 2021, 1–8; Ugwulor-Onyinyechi et al 2021) have utilized this sampling technique and the result showed that it is a useful sampling strategy.…”

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of reduced collaboration in TV news production on job satisfaction and to explore the contributing effect of modern technologies on reduced collaboration in TV news production in Nigeria. The researchers utilized a descriptive survey research design with a structured questionnaire as the instrument for data collection. The data for the study were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a one-way multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA). The result of the study showed that reduced collaboration decreases job satisfaction. Also, modern technologies increase reduced collaboration. Further results showed that modern technologies have led to reduced collaboration in private TV stations more than federal and state TV stations. It was also found that the creative application of modern technologies will lead to increased collaboration and job satisfaction among TV stations in Nigeria.

“…Every occupation comes with its unique challenges. For example, Chinweobo-Onuoha et al (2021) affirmed that occupational risks cut across different professions, but the only difference could be the nature and the degree of the risks involved. In the process of doing their jobs, journalists are exposed to different levels of job risks that include threats to life, physical attacks, assault, harassment, and kidnapping of loved ones.…”

“…Despite this, research is yet to provide empirical evidence regarding the impact of job risks on TV camerapersons. Instead, researchers (Chinweobo-Onuoha et al, 2021; Pain & Chen, 2019; Talabi et al, 2022) have focused on other aspects such as risks associated with news gathering, the impact of new technologies on collaboration in TV production, among other areas. Even at that, research is generally scanty on issues related to TV camerapersons.…”

This study examined the impact of job risks on job performance and the propensity to quit journalism among 576 TV camerapersons covering insecurity in Nigeria. The result of the study showed a significant main effect of job risks on job performance, F(2,548) = 241.016, p = .001, eta squared, ηp2 = .468. Also, career longevity significantly affects the relationship between job risks and performance, F(1,548) = 28.372, p = .001. Despite attaining statistical significance, the degree of the relationship was low, ηp2 = .049. A significant statistical relationship exists between job risks and the propensity to quit journalism among TV camerapersons. A further breakdown of the result showed that the more educated, the more propensity to quit journalism and vice versa. Finally, expected rewards such as career advancement, finance, commendations, and passion for journalism are why TV camerapersons have continued to cover security issues despite the known risks involved.
