- Abstract
This work aimed to explore Nigerian journalists' perspectives on the feasibility and challenges associated with employing interpretive journalism in Nollywood's satirical films. The study was grounded in selective perception theory and social judgment theory and utilized a quantitative cross-sectional survey research design. A web-based questionnaire was used for data collection, administered to 35 active interpretive journalists selected through the Exponential Discriminatory Snowball Method (EDSM) from an estimated pool of 2000 interpretive journalists in the field. Descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis. The study's findings offer insights into the familiarity of Nigerian journalists with interpretive journalism, their perceptions of benefits and challenges, and their interest and willingness to collaborate on integrating interpretive journalism and filmic satire in Nollywood. Drawing from these insights, the study recommends the establishment of comprehensive training programmes, the creation of collaborative platforms, resource allocation, media literacy promotion, and advocacy for the recognition of interpretive journalism's value. Ultimately, this research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of how interpretive journalism enriches Nollywood's satirical films while underscoring their societal significance and impact.
