ABSTRACT

The media as the fourth estate of the re realm in any democratic society is one saddled with so many constraints. Some of such constraints are those that have to do with the ethical practice of the profession . Journalism as a profession, has its do’s and don’ts and some of these ethical pose a serious constraint to the practice of journalism.

The law of the land sometimes pose a problem to the smooth flow of communication and as such to the practice of journalism.

The attitude of the masses as it relate to journalists and their profession is also one of the major constraints faced in the profession

The misconception of many, even some learned people of the full scope of what the journalistic practice is all about is also one of the constraints faced by the profession.

These and many other are some of the ethical and professional constraints faced in the journalistic practice and as such corrective measures need to be taken.

It should be noted that the above listed constraints can and should be expatiated upon for the full import of the constraints can be appreciated by all.

This project thus seeks to look into all the above visited constraints, see ways by which these constraints can be managed and also look at ways by which most of them can be removed in its entirety .

1.0 INTRODUCTION

• Background to the Study

Journalism can be defined as the work or activity of writing, managing or producing newspapers or journals containing news and information for public consumption one who regularly contribute to the periodical press whether as his chief means of livelihood or part the occupation is a journalist

The world of the mass media embrace more than the press or newspapers and journals well as those works who engage in news gathering presentation or preparation for the electronic media ie radio and television

Thus the principal duties of a journalist include, to inform, educate, entertain and also spotlighting social ills in our social. Hence, journalistic practice embraces much more than these in practical terms.

Apparently, journalism is only one part of the broadcasting media, the journalistic also include public Reelections and advertising whichever area you may wish to specialized will involved journalistic skill of communicating effectively in writing to a mass audience consequently, a sound public relation pardoner should know all what it takes to writing for the press

The press is a general term for both the print and electronic media is the foremost function of the print media is to offer to its teeming readers and listeners current news of event that happen at home and abroad .

Thanks to modern inventions of telegraphs and wire communications of which enable us receive fresh and up- to- date report of recent happenings even in distance a mere news sheet as it is described in the time past. But recent time of technological advancement and democracy’s it has metamorphosis newspapers, provide not critical, but also comments, analyses and critical discussions which could be social, economic and political

On the other hand, journalism offer a forum for other areas of public interest for people in various spheres life that suffer neglect. Such people can conveniently air grievances with the help of the press Some new papers deal exclusively on special subject area like religious , sports , arts , entertainment, science and technology.

Beside the powerfulness of the press, a strange psychology works behind the news papers. The ordinary man is always curious for news and views about his own environment which however makes him rely solely on the press. The news expressed through editorial comments are usually accepted   by vast millions of readers. Here lies the power of the journalistic Government on their own too also perceived the efficacy of the noble journalistic practice as very helpful in measuring the wishes and aspiration of the people. A moral and honest journalist does a great deal of good by guarding public opinion on the right part or direction. On the alternative if the journalist represent truth as his basis principle and indulge in factual, reports, then he does a great harm to public morals.

The journalist noses for where the most interesting and important events has taken place so that he/ known she can publish it. Sometimes the leading journalist may become well known, thereby becoming important personalities themselves. Not every journalist can reach the top of the noble career but those that has the opportunity of presenting exciting, educative, factual and entertaining stories. It is sometimes asked whether the journalists are born or made. This may apply to the poet or the artist and not the journalist. The are made with the help of specialized training coupled with a sound academic knowledge. Broadcast journalism requires the casting of music and speeches and news in all directions from a transmitting station by the process of a wireless telephone. There are no wire but sounds passes by “either” into our ears through a receiving transmitter called the radio set consequentially broadcasting until recently was virtually westernized. These western cultures were transmitted to us through movies, documentaries, dramas, and music. CNN and sky television report more news, commentaries

ABSTRACT

This study is aimed at finding out the influence of Newspaper political Reports on the voting Behaviour of Electorates. It aimed at determining through opinion survey, the degree at which the voting behaviour of electorates is effected by their exposure to newspaper political report, using Enugu state local Government Areas (North and South) as a case study.

An empirical survey of five (5) of the twenty (20) wards in Enugu local Government was conducted. Two newspapers Daily Star and the Newsman were used while collecting the data in determining the influence, their political reports have on the voting behaviour of their audience readers.

The sample was randomly selected across five of the twenty wards to find out those who voted during the Governorship Election of March 2003, using stratified sampling technique in terms of the location.

For the theoretical framework and guide for the study, related literature especially in mass communication, psychology and political science, were extensively reviewed. Moreover, three-research hypothesis were tested and analyzed, using statistical table and simple percentages.

As regards the results, it has been discovered through this study, that newspaper political reports have some effects on the voting behaviour of Enugu electorates.

Similarly the exposure of the electorates to newspaper political reports creates certain awareness on them.

Meanwhile, the study showed that a combination of factors like interpersonal communication, party affiliation, information from other media, in addition to newspaper political reports, were the principal determinants of the voting behaviour of Enugu electorates. Finally, the finding of this study will be of help to politicians, political reporters and media executives in determining how to channel their political messages to achieve desired effects.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• Background of study:

It is a commonly held view that mass media play unquantifiable roles in matters of public interest, public opinion and formation of attitude. According to James Curran et al (1977), “pioneer investigators accepted popular impressions of the media as omnipotent and capable of being employed for manipulative purposes”, Thus, Edwin Emery et al (1974), said, “newspapers everywhere are available channels through which political leaders express their views and seek to rally public backing for their policies”.

Many researchers have been conducted on the effects of mass media on the audience. The unfortunate thing, however, is that none of these studies has bothered on the effect of newspaper political messages on the audience. This is pertinent, especially as newspaper predates all the other media of mass communication as well as exerts tremendous impact on the society.

The newspaper performs the primary functions of informing, entertaining, educating, and serving the propaganda needs of the society, with regard to the propaganda needs of the society, the newspaper generally plays a critical role in National development, especially during political elections.

The powerful role of the press in political institution has also been highlighted by the great American leader, George Washing ton. He once remarked that if he were asked to choose between a government without the press, or press without government, he would opt for the latter. According to Sunday Olagunju, a columnist with the Times International (September 23, 1985), “great leaders such as Lenin of Russia, Bismarck of Germany, Attorturk of Turkey, Napoleon Bonar parti of France and even Chamberlain of Britain, succeeded because of their unalloyed recognition of the powerful role of the press”.

The tremendous political knowledge generated by political reports in newspapers have probably had a lot of impact on the growth, quality and development of political activities in the society. This is given credence by frank Ugboaja, who asserted in his “communication policies in Nigeria” (1980), that “Nigeria therefore had its newspapers to fight the cold wars that eventually led to the lifting of the shackles of colonialisne on 1st October, 1960, after having been under British colonial tutelage for nearly half a country. Consequently, Nigeria gained her political independence on the powerful “wings” of the press.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

               BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The image and goodwill of an organization has become one of the cardinal objectives in modern management. Thin in became in the course of a company’s business it deals with momentous publics. These publics are like pressure group whose actions and survival or failure of the company. Therefore, on organization in expected to draw up a deliberate or planned programmer to build, maintain and sustain cardinal relationship. Rudd mutual understanding between item and its various publics, because thin wile go a long way in determining the attainment of the company’s objective. For thin reason, image making and goodwill have been termed an intangible asset which in salable. Every business organization must understand that it has to give pledge to faithful service to all its clients and customers and thin pledge epitomizes social responsibility. The measure of an organization success does not lie in buoyancy of its profit and loss account an presented in an annual general reacting more in the high dividends declared by Board of Directors. A business, whether large or small that in not responsive to its publics is a failure. A lot of business cannot thrive today without continuing public support and approval. Public relation therefore should begin with a hone reappraisal of public sentiments and public needs and an adjustment of corporate practices to suit such needs. Goodwill and business success are interrelated just as a company requires to spend money regularly on matters which will get it involved in community affairs engage in charitable activities adopt excellent services conditions for its employees and give financial support to social problems and institutions. The more a company gets involved in there third of activities, the better its image reputation and goodwill in public eyes.

Black (1993; 105) defined public Relations the art and science of achieving harmony within the environment through mutual understanding based on truth and full information.

Public Relations ham as its principle the creation of mutual understanding and cordial relationship through good and effective communication with internal and external emironment for the purpose of attaining the organization corporate objective. Every individual, corporate, corporate, social service and welfare, religious organization, political partied and ever nations seek to impress others with principle and ideals and gain favourable opinion. The success of thin depends on the merit of the course, the honest, the completeness of facts presented and whether the beliefs or ideals communicated contributed to public welfare. Public Relation involves opinion molding, it in an effort of an organization or institution to beam its image on public so as to win their understanding, acceptance and goodwill public Relations therefore strives to study the public, to find out what they want haw the policies and actions of an organization affect them, what they know or do not about the organization. In other words public relations work in Internet of the external public in general and organization in particular.

Nigeria Telecommunication limited (NITEL) external publics are all the people and organizations affected or who can affect the organizations, consumers, distributors, in this case those that live in Enugu. Since the objective of NITEL is exclusively service to human being whose behaviour is unpredictable. By any organization, which maintains cordial relationship with communities’ Good, relationship with community in which it operates is vital to any organ sating whether. Be it the military post, a retail store, a manufacturer of shoes or any of the hundred possibilities the friendly regard and good opinion of the community can materially aid in the successful running of an enterprise’’

NITEL in a federal government owned company that provides public telecommunication services in Nigeria has for some years now been at the receiving end of barrages of press and public criticisms that reduce its public support and goodwill. Public complaints here range from inability to fully provide adequate, effective and commercially efficient telecommunication services for aware rational development. Because of the mounting public and press criticisms against NITEL operating. Compelled with the inability of public relations Department, Abuja Heard quarters to coordinate and carry out effective public relation programmers so as to counter the attacks against the authority at zonal levels.

t became pertinent for the authority to established public Relations Department in each of the six zones of the country thereby decentralizing the operations of the public Relations Department, Abuja.

CHAPTER ONE

 

INTRODUCTION

• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Without any shred of doubt, I will say that is very important and wise to set a good example and produce good things than set or produce bad one.

Thus it is very vital t note that one important function in business to thrive and succeed is getting and keeping customers.  This extends in making the business to be aware that it should not base itself merely as a producer of goods and service, but also as a buyer of customers and as a dear of those key ad important things which makes people want to involve interact and deal with it.  In this kind of free enterprise economy such as Nigeria where business and commerce are run or conducted with less involvement or minimum of government involvement, inference or intervention anybody who have the means or resources, be it small scale business or a big capitalist can set up business.  This is as a result of many product and services organization of various kinds.

In other words I will say that market is customers and the process of winning and retaining them is quite noted to pass through stiff measure in order to retain and keep their customers form competitors.  You will agree with me that without customer’s patronage, a business will likely collapse.  For patronage to be maintained and ensured advertising is massively and extensively used or put in place by advertisers or business organizations.  At this we must look at the key work advertising, which plays a key and vital role in television commercial.  For the fact that advertising play a key role in making people be aware of things (products), this directs us towards the view of Boye E/Aress of et al 1929 “which says advertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about product and services.  In broadcasting, advertisement can really play a great role inherent in programme transmission.  This also goes to let us know that advertisement has come a long way, that its origin can be traced to the struggle of men to have means of livelihood.

In order to endure and survive, revenue from advertisement which comes from the sale of time and programmes has become the broadcast industry in Nigeria.

Advertising is defined by the American Marketing Association (AMA, 1976:63)) as a controlled, identifiable information and persuasion by means of mass communication media.  One of the effective and efficient mass media is television.  Television carries advertising messages or commercials.  Most of the television commercials are testimonials whereby a celebrity of expert is used to tell story, the analogy and predicament.

The television transmits news and it also carried commercials.  The network news programme at 9.00 p.m. daily has always been a strictly news programme, but until recently when the nation witnessed an innovation, the NTA stateion started inserting commercials in the network news programmes at 9.00 p.m.

It is for this cause that advertisers who buy television generally scale to have their commercial messages appear in programme that reach the largest audience at a particular time through a channel.

And it is only by the purchase of a network time would and advertiser hope to reach a very large audience who are exposed to an advertiser’s message.

Advertisers therefore are interested in knowing the demographic information (such as age, sex, and education) and psychological information as attitude, beliefs and opinion of the audience in order to improve the effectiveness of an advertisement message.

The media to this effect sponsor research to find out from time to time who is attending to the message of their client.  The advertisers and media buyers on their side made absolute use of time to bring their varied products and services to the awareness of television – with the aim of reading the greatest number of their targeted audience.

Network television advertising, for example can reach all the parts of the country, hence NTA stations are situated in almost every state of the federation.

Therefore, advertisers exploit this medium to their different customers and prospective customers’ names and products and services to the constant awareness of the people.

Network television advertising, for example can reach all the parts of the country, thus for the fact that NTA stations are virtually in almost all part of the country.  It has really helped in bringing to the knowledge of the people or the customers latest information and awareness of products and services to the people or audience.

In other words the audience perception of commercial telecast during NTA news programmes is the researchers point of study.

1.2  STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

This research study is focused on television commercials.  The increasing abundance of advertising messages telecast during Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) Network News programme is a thing of much concern to the researcher.

This study therefore, maintains that undue advantage is being taken of the network news as an endless way of commercials beamed with the network news.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The concept of business social responsibility has continued to evolve and expand. Today, the efficient use of resources to make profit is still seen as the primary social responsibility of business.

The idea of operate social responsibility began in the early part of the twentieth century.

Interestingly enough, it came from business executives who believed that corporations has an obligations to use their resources in ways that would benefits the entire society.

Although, the role of business firms is that producing goods and services for a profit, social expectations of business have increased dramatically since the 1960, so that is a need for social response in order to narrow the gap between expectations and response and keep business in turn with society, while an organization is busy establishing its goals, objectives developing and executing strategies for achieving its stated purpose, it should recognize that it operates within an environment which expects it to operates in such a manner that would not disrupt its very essence.

Furthermore, there is little doubt that business must involve itself in social issue broader than producing goods and services not only because it is the best thing to do but because it is in the best interest of business. In view of these, this study narrow down to Guinness Nigeria PLC which can approximately be described as one of the most prominent and well known company in the brewery industry with branches within and outside the country. The company is the year 2002 celebrated her 50^th years of corporate existence in Nigeria and the demand for its product, no doubt has continue to grow and it was indeed remain consisting high all through years.

This brewery company majors in the production of small and big Guinness stout beer, harp, Gulder, spark, Malta Guinness and Satzen Brau.

Guniess Nigeria PLC operates in various parts of the country until the early seventies precisely (1974) when a plant was established at Ikpoba slope in Benin city. Till this day, the company has continue to grow and it remains one of the most dominant and prominent company in the brewery industry.
