Success is Nigerian. He is a PhD student in the Department of Journalism. His research interests revolve around the interrelationship between socio-political power dynamics (especially at the macro level) and the media industry in developing democracies, with the expectation that his work will significantly contribute to our understanding of how these dynamics can shape media representation (in terms of workforce makeup) and portrayal of issues, and how such representation and portrayal can in turn contribute positively or negatively to existing power dynamics. Currently, he studies this from two angles: Western and Chinese-mediated public diplomacy in Africa and gender representation in African newsrooms.
