Abstract

The article analyses the process of development of media in Northern Nigeria and its impact on Hausa society. Starting from oramedia, the most traditional form of media transmission, it then moves on to the history of the press, radio and television; to finally describe new media and the cultural revolution brought about by the Internet. The article tries to answer the question about the social implications of these particular forms of media on modern Hausa society and thus presents some main trends and patterns of cultural development.
