Introduction

• Background of the Study

Television has been regarded as the most effective spontaneous electronic message carrier of our time since its inception.

It was the early motion pictures that first inspired questions on the impact of the entertainment media on society. They debate on whether media portrayal of violence and newspapers pages are tools for influencing violence. According to Encyclopedia Britannia, the word “Television” was derived from a Greek world “Viedre” meaning “to see”, television has the power to bring into focus pictures and sounds of events form around the world to millions of homes. Concern about television violence on television began in the earliest days of the medium in the late 1940’s and its explosive growth in the 50’s families with children were among the first to acquire television sets and children tended to watch a lot of television programmes like cartoons and comedies which contains violent scenes.

According to Oladapo (1992), television is the most powerful means in which most children get influenced by what they watch on it. Most children try to imitate what they see on television, violence is shown on television everyday and this violence should therefore be minimized. In Nigeria, most children witness lots of television violence without control or being controlled. Television violence on Nigeria television station can come also in form of foreign action movies, local television programmes etc. Television violence exposes children to violence in real life; therefore it is usually condemned as bad influence in the society.

Parents become worried that their children would imitate and adopt some of the violent programmes they watch, besides cartoons and adult programmes. Children were watching more violence films than their parents had experienced in their youths.

However, broadcast become sensitive to the issue when in 1951 the first television code was enacted in America which had a paragraph or violence in the section of children programmes. It asserted that “television programmes were glorifying violence and had long been encouraging aggressive behaviour on children. The general viewing pattern is one of the steady rises in the number of hours viewed from early childhood through preadolescence and then a sharp drop in viewing during adolescent years. The nature of violent scenes differed (ie. contextual differences could vary) and as such, the content viewed is considered more important than the number of viewing.

Television violence that is glamorized, sanitized and trivialized, teaches that violence is a solution to problems as a result of this, children now tend to be violent, aggressive and disrespectful to any body. However, the concern about violence as well as the way men and women are portrayed, and also how ethic minorities are portrayed and various concerns about advertising and other content issue have continued to this day but our major concern here is television violence and its influence.

ABSTRACT

The project topic “Radio Programmes in National Development” is a study to show how radio is used in the promotion of building the life span and the living standard of a society or nation, through the information in form of programmes they produced and disseminate to their audience, with Imo Broadcasting Corporation station (IBC) as a case study.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Communication is the process of sending message from one point to another and the content of the message is called information. Information pervades the whole spectrum of life. It is a treasure to a nation, community and the larger world. Every sphere f life will remain static without well-packaged information. Information to a large extent is an asset, a resource, a commodity with social economic and political consequences.

Communication is as old as mankind and it is the pivot on which human existence, continuity and national development revolves. Different media are used in communication, which classified into print – such as Newspapers, Magazines, etc.; Electronics – such as Radio, Television, etc., oral – eg. use of gongs, etc.

The electronic media categories are the most prominent and significant. They are younger than oral and print media being mainly the products of twentieth century. Stella Okunna (1987) noted, “Radio appears to be more powerful. It stands out as having the greater power of reaching the diverse people of the Nigeria nation” Radio as a medium of mass communication has wider scope of coverage and as a commonly used medium makes greater impact on the audience. Radio is a mechanical medium of communication whose reception according to Okonkwo (1997) “is aural”. Radio makes use of sense of sound and hearing to convey its message to the audience. It is a faithful comparison everywhere one found a set to listen to while having a walk, at work, in the farm, in the market places, riding a car, on a motor-cycle, on a donkey, etc. Radio is used countrywide even in rural areas. This is attributable to the unique qualities of the medium – it is portable, easily affordable and easily – operated even in the absence of electricity.

In this study therefore, we have set out to examine the roles played by Radio Programmes in National Development with particular reference to Imo Broadcasting Corporation (IBC), Owerri as a case study.

CHAPTER ONE – INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUD OF THE STUDY

There is the belief in some quarters that the Nigerian press under the military regime is characterized by the “Praise signing syndrome” of the Nigeria society. Some other critics say that Nigeria are strange among praise singers, accusers and sympathizer. When a government is in power people sing praises of the administration even in the face of glaring inefficiency of the public office holders.

On January 15, 1966 when the first military regime came into power, the late Major General J.T.U Agnyi Ironsi was eulogized for establishing a military government based on group of principles. When Ironsi was killed in July 1966 counter coup, he was described by one Newspaper columnist who was one of the most local adherent of the Ironsi administration as “A hard drinking general whose administration lacked a sense of direction.

In Gwon’s leadership he was praised flattered and worshipped. It is mentors and adviser referred to him as “God given leader” However when the revolutionary coup d etat by the late General Murtala mohammed swept Gwon out of Dodan Barracks. The same praise singers turned around to call the former God given leader such un complimentary names as Wanted man” frigitive offender” and so on

The Murtala/Obansanjo regime which handed over power to the civilian was accused of painlessness without Nigerians knowing that the successor of that regime would be on epitome of painlessness. Graft and squander mania

Again in December 31, 1984 another coup d’etal which saw major General Mohammed Buhari as the head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria came to pass with the coup, expectation of Nigeria including individuals organization and educational institution become high.

The Nigerian press as the spokes man of the people maintained ands echoed the expectations of the regime. That was another movement of looking back to what the situation was before the military came in. expressing the people’s view and opinion as to what the new military administration would do.

INTRODUCTION

• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In this challenging society of our Nigeria, science and technology has brought profound changes on how mass media bring value to their customer. The tendency that must of the time, especially in the developing countries, the media practioners must package their programme very well to sustain their viewership. In doing it is imperative to take into conderation their supposedly diverse composition of the audience for viewership interest. Because of lack of this knowledge will mar the efforts of the station keep pace with prose trend in mass communication industry especially broadcast media.

Importantly taking the audience for granted as a result of professional ignorant or other reasons will not anger well at this information communication age. As Marshall Mac Luhah (1960) describe the world as a global village, a world join together and transformed by television and other marvous of the electronic age.

One of the outstanding features of the media communication is composition of the audience. The audience of television is highly heterogeneous with members having several distinctive characteristics, different interest and they are scattered in all over the nation with different socio-economic strata.

Based on the heterogeneity of the audience it is obvious that views differ among members of mass media audience. While some use particular station programme others depend on the others. Some may want to watch entertainment programmers while some might prefer thoughtful vital programmers like News, current affairs, commentaries or documentaries depending on their likes.

This corroborates with uses and gratification theory propounded by Swanson (1979) Because uses and grati8fication is audience centers asking what people do with media rather than what media do to people Rubin (1985) states that uses and gratification is grounded in a functional paradigm of social influence. Since the functional approach examine. The relationship between the media, individuals and society.

One of the plan in which an audience is active is though the use of selective exposure. It is the tendency of accepting to express yourself to communication that goes with your own values system, altitudes and viewpoint. The concept of self selective exposure helps the active audience to control what he watches, to what he listens to and read, selective reading and listening are the function selective exposure.

With the society becoming more complex; this, recognition of these view, interest researchers set out to ascertain viewership of television in Enugu south through empirical support.

You can but the newspaper of your choice, you can also watch the movie you like, you choose from many television programmers and Radio, and if you find yourself watching something you do not like you can tune to another channel. Different view have been presented in an attempt to determining why people watch television programmers.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The background of this study looks into the role played by the radio as a medium in the political mobilization of women in Nigeria.

There are other communication communication channels like television, interpersonal (rituals and festivals, gongs, drums), newspapers and magazines; these are channels of information dissemination. But in view of how effective these channels could be used in performing the role of mobilizing women through out the nation into participating in politics, its credibility is given to radio in getting political message to its target audience (women) informed.

Even though the newspaper and magazines for their non- transient features would have helped, it is found difficult these days to be affordable by average Nigerians and women in their own situation finds it more difficult to spend their income in buying newspapers or magazines in order to get information in this economic crunch situation in the country today.

Hence, radio is used as their resort for information acquisition. Also, the television due to its high cost is not easily affordable by every family, and for the traditional communication, since these targeted audience (women generally) some of which are from urban areas, it is found difficult or ineffective to disseminate information to them. This is because they have socially developed too. Hence they can tune to their various transistor radio sets for information.

Obiakalusi Lynda et al (1991) in their research work stated that Nigerians political independence in 1960 had raised hopes of many that the nation was being set towards achieving a free and democratic society. In such a democratic society, it is expected that the press such as radio in particular should be the market place of political thought. The radio therefore, should exist mainly to serve the information need of the citizenry in politics.

Akpan (1985) mass communication in Nigeria: book of reading (Nwuneli) say that the public is entitled to all facts in a political situation and that on the basis of these facts, it can make its decisions. However, these woman being to revert to political interest.

Again warren, Kendall (1985: 1990) position that radio for its social role as a mobilization channel made American listens to feel the brutal impact of Hitler’s demands against the background of hysterical orator and frenzied nazi crowd reaction. They (American) were graved when they heard morrow described war preparation in London, relieved when kilter born predicted that chamberlain and Hitler found a peace solution at Munich. However, it was radio that brought to them this scene of personal participation in what they realized was the world’s crisis not merely Europe’s.

The mass media generally performed broad social functions to the audience and these functions are entertainment, information and education. Therefore, the radio playing the same function, in terms of providing messages to its listeners while it is entertaining them thereby reminding its targeted audience (women).
