The Radio Lagos/Eko FM on Friday February 10, 2012 published on its website the comments of former Super Eagles Coach, Amodu Shuaibu, during a visit to the Super Eagles camp.
The story was published in a language similar to that of the print media; it was a four-paragraph story with the headline “Amodu gives Keshi success tips.”
The first paragraph of the story reads: “A former Super Eagles Coach, Shuaibu Amodu was the August visitor to the team’s camp on Thursday morning. Amodu who was sacked from his post on the way to the World Cup was full of advice for the current national coach, Stephen Keshi and his crew…
However, the news broadcast version of the report as monitored on Radio Lagos employed the language of immediacy typical of the broadcast gamut. The report went thus with this opening paragraph: “Former Super Eagles Coach, Amodu Shuaibu says current Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi would perform well if he develops thick skin towards critics.”
The above style was also obvious in a broadcast monitored on the Africa Independent Television (AIT) which says:” Former Super Eagles Coach, Amodu Shuaibu says the best way for Coach Stephen Keshi to excel is to shun cynics.”
The station did not however feature the story on its website.
Meanwhile, the same story was published in The Nation of Friday February 10, 2012 on page 62 with the headline “Amodu storms Eagles’ camp” with a bullet-rider, “As players battle for shirts”. It was a nine-paragraph story that captured in details the visit of the former national coach and the remarks he made during the visit.
The intro reads:”Former Super Eagles sweat merchant Shuaibu Amodu was the August visitor on Thursday morning ostensibly to encourage the players and particularly the technical crew.”
It was published in the same format on the paper’s online site, www.thenationonlineng.net.
