Moreover, the dominant narrative on religious media is approached from a Christian Pentecostal paradigm. It entails the commodification and commercialisation of religion, proselytisation, and religious globalisation. Nonetheless, the Nigerian religious media landscape is not monolithic but, rather, a convergence of multiple religious interactions. The multiplicity of religious media sites offers scholars opportunities to extend academic conversations beyond Pentecostalism and outside the context of formal schooling. This qualitative study explores the socio-political economy of an Anglican media site, the Advent Cable Network Nigeria (ACNN). It focuses on how religious media respond to socio-political issues, and their contribution to literacy development.enNigeriaReligionChristian Pentecostal paradigmAnglican mediaSocio-political issuesUniversity of the Western Cape
