INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
communication
is so central to human existence and all human activities that it would be fool
hardy for any group or nation to put it in the background in its economic,
political, social and other activities infact, we are bold to say that
communication is the most ustal factor in building an orgnised, unsted and
progressive nation; the without it, there will be no national entity and no
effective solution to national problems and national development. All these can be confidently said because of
the obvious fact that all human activities take place in cross-five of
information flow and communication, whether in inter-personal, group, local,
state national or international level.
Man was
created to be gregarious and because of these qualities, they have always had
to fall back on one another in interaction recognized as human communication.
This refers
to the process of transmitting message, idea and attitudes and creating
meanings between two and more people usually through the natural facilities of
the human voices, sensory organ,s facial expressions, body manipulations and lately
machine-assisted channels or devices.
Even now, the import and importance of communication in our modern and
sophisticated society cannot be over emphasized.
The
awarness for these necessifies introduced mass communication into the
world. It is a process by which a
complex organization with the aid of one or more machine produce and transmit
message directed at large, nitrogenous, diversified and scattered
audience. It is also the act of
communicating to mass audience through the use of mass media such as books,
newspapers, magarines, films, radio, television and computers to mention but
fees, that the field of journalisma in Nigeria have used as a medium to
get information across the audience.
Communication had been in existence all the while but it was never a
kind of mass involvement because the world them lacked advanced equipments or
gadgets that could carry these messages and information to many people at the
same time (mass effect). The great
discaceroes and inmouations of communication gadgets from early 30’s to date
has changed communication from primitive kind to modern (mass) kind.
Mass
communication gadgets is as old as mass communication itself because the nation
of getting people involved in communication in mass would have remained in the
background if the gadgets were not modern minced or advanced
technological. Mass communication
started with Johannes Gutenberg invention of the printing press.
This
invention led to prolofication of the print materials such as books, newspapers
and magazines, through these media more people were reached as it concerns
communication. The electronics media
communication came on the scene with the invention of such gadgets as radio and
television.
