Press Freedom of Speech has become one of the major challenges facing Journalism practice in the world. This book explores the factors hindering Press Freedom of Speech in Nigeria using some relevant examples. The authors used the qualitative method of research; using secondary data comprising of books and journals. The study is embedded on social responsibility theory. The study reveals that there are a lot of factors in Nigeria that hinders Press Freedom of Speech ranging from secrecy, legal pressure, direct censorship and force among others. Findings also reveal that Nigerian Press Freedom of Speech is a paradox and only exist on paper i.e. in the constitution but not in practice. The study recommends that since Press Freedom of Speech is granted in the constitution of Nigeria, there should be statutory backup and in order not to hinder Press Freedom of Speech, journalists should be allowed to have access to government sources and records so long as it will not bring chaos to the society at large.
