BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY



For the purpose of this study, the researches considered UWANI metropolis, Enugu, because of its strategies location.



Television newer ship has fallen off in recent years, credibility ratings for the major TV news outlets have remained relatively stable. As was case in 1998 and 1996, NTA is related the most credibility TV news source. Roughly four in ten people in Uwani who are able to rate it (39%) say they can believe all or most of what they see and hear on NTA.



Since the mid-1980’s, Nigeria have become increasingly skeptical of what they see, hear and read in the media and almost no major news outlet has escaped this trend. For many media outlets there has been little change in public evaluations in the last four years but ratings for some continue to inch downward.



Different studies in different countries have found that developing countries need the media for evolution of new psychological personality, learners study of the middle East, pools study of the media, Rogers diffusion of innovation, all bear clear and eloquent testimony to the crucial role of the mass media to national development.



Leading credence to this assertion, Wilbur Schramm in his graphic message concludes “Communication is always at the very center of existence, for any society, developing or not that countries in a hurry cannot afford the luxury of an inert mass”.



Defleur Dennis on his part, observes, “Traditional societies with limited mass communication tend to develop slowly but when mass media are introduced, changes take place. This is because the society has grown all the more complex and this has made direct simple communication alone less relevant.



The way media performs its functions would go to support or undermine the claim that they are contributing to national development. This point is well made by Wilson P. Dizard when he observes that television in some countries has proven a mere boondoggle.



Joseph R. Dominick observes that if a reader or viewer looses trust or stops believing what is being reported, the fundamental contract between audience and reporters is undermined and news organisation cannot survive.
