1.3 Objective of the Study
The objectives of this study are:
1. To find out if Information and Communication Technologies are used by Atlantic FM, Uyo in it broadcast reporting.
2. To find the extent ICT is been applied in broadcast reporting in Atlantic FM, Uyo.
3.
To find out impact of Iformation and Communication Technologies on the
output of broadcast reporting in Atlantic FM Radio, Uyo.
4. To make recommendations on the use of ICT on news report.
1.4 Research Questions
The following research questions were formulated;
1.
What is the extent of the application of Information and Communication
Technologies in broadcast reporting of Atlantic FM, Uyo?
2. Does Atlantic FM, Uyo, make use of these modern Information and Communication Technologies in broadcast reporting?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
The following research hypothesis will be relevant to this study
H1: Atlantic FM, Uyo, makes use of ICT in radio new broadcasting.
H0: Atlantic FM, Uyo, does not make use of modern ICT in radio new reporting.
H2: ICT application will improve the output of radio news reporting in Atlantic FM Uyo.
H0: ICT application will not improve the output of broadcast reporting in Atlantic FM, Uyo.
1.6 Scope of Study
This
study is restricted to only the radio services-The Atlantic FM, Uyo.
The findings and its results can only be used to determine the impact
created in other radio stations where information and communication
technologies are employed in broadcasting of programs.
1.7 Significance of the Study
The
findings as a result of this stud are expected to provide information
that would help radio broadcasting improve with the use of ICTs as well
as provide insight to Atlantic FMs management. it will also help the
team make necessary amends in the positive direction where they are
found to be lacking behind and equally provide model for researchers and
institutions of higher learning which will serve as reference point.
1.8 Definition of Terms
The definitions of terms were operationally defined
Communication:
This is the process of transmitting information, ideas and attitudes from one person to another.
Broadcast Reporting:
This is the journalistic act of sourcing, covering, working, editing and presenting news on the radio.
FM (Frequency Modulation)
It
is the type of radio broadcast service in which the frequency varies in
a manner corresponding to the sound of the voice/music transmitted
which is one hundred and eight six thousand miles per second. It was
found in the 1930s by Edwin Armstrong and is allocated in the very high
frequency (VHF) – the part of the radio spectrum from thirty to three
hundred megahertz.
Radio:
It is a telecommunication system by modulation and radiation of electromagnetic waves.
ICTs: 5
Information
and Communication Technologies this is a set of technologies used in
accomplishing modern radio communication without face-to-face meeting.
