Journalists can report news across the world over the internet. Throughout history, developments in technology and communication have gone hand-in-hand, and the latest technological developments such as the internet have resulted in the advancement of the science of communication to a new level. The process of human communication has evolved over the years, with many path-breaking inventions and discoveries heralding revolutions. In Nigeria television broadcasting listeners on the organization’s news and programmes. Alder Social Media Report, TV as now use social media to connect and engage users of the new media platforms. It has the highest followers on Twitter,Facebook, YouTube and Google plus.

In responding to this new development, TV has now created a Social Media Desk to cater for issues arising from the new media platforms. It has also devised a means of scrolling breaking news on one-line ticker beneath the mast head of the website. All these feats were achieved through the new media technology and empowerment of newset of Journalists to provide content on this platform.

The advent of the 21st century technology has changed the television broadcasting techniques.

Though, Internet was not available during the days of Marshall McLuhan in 1964 when he wrote in a review of the book, “Understanding the Media: The Extensions of Man”, his assertion was a pointer to the development of multimedia tools for news production. He referred to the media as a unique tool for socialization with this quote, ‘we shape our tools and thereafter the tools shaped us”.
In it, he came up with McLuhan Laws of the media based on the following assumptions, that media tools are phenomenon which are inevitable, universal and can be used simultaneously. Available statistics from the global digital report (2014) have added more impetus togrowing use of social media by media organizations globally. For example, Reuters Breaking news through the social media network accounted for 1.19 billion users. Over 727 million people uses Facebook daily, 260 billion view the Facebook page monthly. Out of this, 100million users access their Facebook page over mobile phones. It is remarkable that out of these figures from the Reuters Breaking news, 4.3 millions are Nigerians, an increased from400,000 in 1999.This accounted for a significant proportion of mobile web traffic in the country. Going by these figures, e-learning Africa, 2011 also report that Nigeria now maintains 4th position in Africa in the use of social media platforms. These numbers are increasing by the day. Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial centre, ranked among the best states with highest number of mobile phones, Blackberry devices and other social media accessories, as people used it to listen to news, monitor developments and contribute to current issues.
