1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Every research work is predicated on a problem. Most researches on
radio news reporting have their coverage of particular events of general
interest and critique of programmes. This is so because it permits a
close scrutiny of the output of radio stations. Nwosu (1990).

been effectively colonized by powerful economic interests, have lost

“Sustain vigilant scrutiny of government and centres of powerssâ€. Watch
