Abstract

This research work was conducted in order to determine the Prospects for Investigative Reporting in Private Media outlets in Bauchi and Jos. The objective of the study was to find out whether the two private radio stations (Unity FM, Albarka Radio) in Jos and Bauchi do practice Investigative Journalism. A qualitative, cross-sectional survey was employed for the study. In-depth interview was used as means of data collection from a purposively sample of six radio journalists, consisting of two editor and four reporters. Following from the social responsibility and surveillance theoretical discourse, findings revealed that both the radio stations in Jos and Bauchi do practice Investigative Journalism and are also training young minds on the beat. This research work recommends that the practical aspect of the course should receive more attention than the theoretical part in tertiary institutions, there should be constant training, retraining and retraining staff in each media organization and also adequate budgets of funds should be put into considerations by the management of any media organization.

Abstract

This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Kokoro Alate, a crisis resolution programme on Agidigbo 88.7FM radio station, in promoting community resilience and mitigating crises in Akinyele Local Government, Oyo State.The research aimed to examine the programme's influence on listeners' perceptions and attitudes towards crisis, its effectiveness in promoting community resilience, and the challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation. A descriptive survey method was employed, targeting, 80 adults ( 50 unmarried and 30 married) selected through simple random sampling from Ajibode, Akinyele Local Governmen The study revealed that crisis management radio programs significantly influence listeners' perceptions and attitudes towards crisis, with education being the most impactful aspect. Kokoro Alate has educated a large number of people on how to conduct themselves during crises and resolve disputes. However, despite awareness of the importance of feedback, respondents hesitated to contribute, limiting the programme's effectiveness. The study concludes that crisis resolution programmes like Kokoro Alate are vital tools for combating social crises. To enhance programme effectiveness, awareness campaigns on crisis resolution programmes should be conducted.Further research is recommended to investigate reasons for low feedback and declining radio audiences. Additionally, government and private broadcasts should prioritize crisis-resolution programming. By addressing these areas, Kokoro Alate's influence can expand, enhancing community resilience and crisis management in Akinyele Local Government.
