Nigeria., 2022-05) Igudia, O. E.; Akangbe, C. A.It is a known fact that book piracy has affected the Nigerian book Publishing industry negatively. The opinion of book publishers on the menace of book piracy in the Nigerian Publishing industry needs investigation, which is the interest of this study. Descriptive research design was adopted for the study of svc Publishing houses in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. The purposive sampling technique was employed to select 80 staff from the Publishing houses under investigation. Collected data were analysed using simple percentages. The findings revealed that the cost of Publishing in Nigeria is high, which made the prices of books unaffordable to the buyers, thereby creating a vacuum for piracy to thrive. The menace of book piracy has adversely affected the financial gains of both authors and publishers. Book piracy has also caused moral harms to both authors and publishers thereby discouraging upcoming writers from developing new manuscripts. It was therefore recommended that piracy should be fought through collaborative efforts of all the actors in the book industry and the government at all levels. Furthermore, the government should ensure that the aspect of the laws on intellectual property protection is enforced. Also, the public should be sensitised through the media and other awareness campaigns on the harmful effects of piracy as well as against patronising piratesItem The act and art of editing: exploration of the functions and responsibilities of book editors in the electronic age(2023) Igudia, O. E.; Akangbe, C. A.In this present ICT-driven information age, the traditional roles of editors in the book publishing process are threatened, as software is being developed to perform editorial functions. Experience has shown, however, that ICT can help in improving human experience in all spheres of life. For editors to remain relevant, there is the need for conscious effort by publishers and editors to upgrade their knowledge in the application of ICT in the editorial practices. This paper examines the chances of survival of book editors in the face of a fast changing environment. The paper concludes that the publishing option in the electronic age does not exclude editorial functions but redefines the new roles of editors in the publishing process. Therefore, editorial roles need a redefinition in the present dispensation and editors and publishers, especially in the developing nations such as Nigeria need to move with the changing time. This is done by committing more resources into training and development, to enable editorial staff to be relevant in the present dispensation. Therefore, the job of the editor remains, only if, editors upgrade themselves in the act and art of editing to make them relevant in this changing time.Item The form and content of obasa’s weekly newspaper: the yoruba news(2020) Akangbe, C.

A.; Igudia, O. E.The publishing industry is a vital index of a nation's development. It makes its contribution to national growth through its productivity, and a key agent of this productivity is the editor. The editor forms the nucleus of the publishing firm. He/she is the nerve of the publishing operations and is highly indispensable in the publishing processes. However, information is germane to editorial activities and as such he/she cannot perform optimally without having requisite information. This thus implies that editor must seek for information. Information-seeking entails requisite and appropriate disposition which is otherwise called attitude. The attitude of editors, the type as well as source of information are all important for editorial efficiency. It is these issues of information attitude of editors and their productivity that this study seeks to answer. Survey method was adopted for the study, structured questionnaire was the instrument employed for data collection while three research questions were formulated. The study population was 62 educational publishing firms in South-West Nigeria while the sample for the study was the 205 editorial staff of twenty randomly selected publishing houses which constituted 19.4 %.
