This study seeks to find out the extent to which collaborative journalism is practiced in Nigeria by professional and citizen journalists. Using in-depth interview as a research design, the study interviewed 50 respondents. Twenty-five (25) professional journalists arid: twenty-five (25) amateur reporters participated in the research, giving a total of 50 respondents sampled. Public sphere theory was used as the theoretical framework of the study. Data are presented qualitatively. It was revealed that collaborative journalism is currently being practiced in Nigeria and that it manifests in different forms. In some cases it manifests in the Report page of mainstream newspapers (whether print or soft copy), created to collect and publish news stories sent in by citizen journalists, white in other cases, it manifests in the form of comments added at the end of a news story in online media outfits. It was also revealed that the perception of most professionals and amateur reporters is that the issue of collaboration be welcomed with both hands.
