INTRODUCTION

1.1            BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

This research work is carried out in a way that will investigate and find out in a clearly defined term the “Role of Radio is a Democratic Society” in order to bring to the consciousness of the media (Radio) what is expected from it by the society.

          Over the year, the nation or society has been envisaged by the “Dictatorialism” and “Authoritarianism” of the military government over all the media of communication.

          The traditional role of the media (Radio) is the transmission of programme intended for general public reception.

          As a result of the long silence in practicing its defined role under the military dictatorship, it appear that radio broadcasting not conscious of the fact that we are no longer under the shadow military restriction and dictatorship nascent democracy. And for this, democracy to survive it has to contribute its own quota through the roles expected from it. The members of the public also expect it from radio. Some basic functions or roles which it suppose to play in uplifting the plight in the society because the president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obansojo said that “Radio has a greater influence and impact on the society in terms of wider coverage and accessibility”.

          Though we have other media of communication such as the television, Newspaper, etc but amidst these, the roles and the impact of radio are most imperative and inexhaustible in our society to be précised.

          There have been previous researchers concerning the role or impact of radio in out of investigate, find, and recommend on what should be the traditional role of radio in a democratic society and how can this role be effectively carried out without any form of reluctantly and complain.

          The researchers concentrate on the inhabitants of Enugu North Local Government for an effective research work and positive result

1.2            STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM

Radio broadcast ting is a good medium of information distribution. There are lots of things occurring around us in our local areas, in our country and the world at large. People became aware of the important events when they tune heir radio to hear the news broadly cast. Radio makes life more pleasant event while we are working or resting. The government of Nigeria, EnuguState and Enugu North Local Government Area to be precise use radio to keep both the literate and illiterate populace well informed of its policies and other important events effecting the people’s welfare. The industrialists and businessmen make use of these communication patterns to advertise their trades and promote their business, marital and naming ceremonies, missing person etc.

          Radio medium is a medium of education and it helps in the integration of divergent views, ethnic cultural and religious differences in writing and integrating the Nigeria society.

          These are few of the primary roles which radio broadcasting is supposed to perform in the society, but over the years, it has been faced with problems that have hinder it from performing up to the required expectations of the society.

          In the course of the research, the researchers were able to find out what some of these problems are:

          Firstly, poor, dilapidated equipment, which have brought about low, inefficiency and ineffective transmission and dissemination of information in the society.

          Secondly, lack of involvement of professional ism in radio transmission and dissemination of information in the understanding of the local areas.

          Utility, is poor scheduling of programmes in duty broadcasting and

          Fourthly, ethnicism in the broadcasting of information in our local society to the detriment of societal unification and integration.

The researchers also found out during the process of the research that 1 out of 3 of every home of the area has radios, that is, radio has a great impact on the people, since a housewife has radio at her side to provide her with relevant information and vital government announcement.

          The questions that might then be asked or decree are (unsolved problems for the researcher)

1)    How far has radio been able to educate and promote the interest of the people in a democratic society?

2)    How has radio been able to promote cultural, religious and ethnic integration in the society?

3)    How many have benefited from radio programmes.

4)    What has been the attitude of the people towards radio programmes.

5)    What would have happened if there were no radio in the society.

1.3            PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

The main purpose for embarking on this research work is to clearly articulate and explicate the role and imperativeness of radio in influencing (positively) the life of the masses that make-up the society.

The fourth major role of radio in any society is to educate, entertain, inform and to socialize the people. The irresistible appeal of this medium has gone a long way in drawing the attention of the message even the very worse illiterate in the society can understand the messages or information of this medium.
