Background of the Study
Television journalism plays a critical role in crisis reporting, serving as a primary source of information during emergencies and conflicts. In Suleja Local Government Area (LGA), Niger State, television serves as a key medium for disseminating information on crises, ranging from communal clashes to natural disasters. The visual nature of television allows for real-time reporting and the delivery of compelling narratives that shape public perception and response. Studies by Abdullahi and Mohammed (2023) highlight the unique ability of television to combine visuals, sound, and expert analysis to provide a comprehensive understanding of crises. However, the effectiveness of television journalism in crisis reporting often depends on factors such as access to accurate information, ethical practices, and the capacity to operate in volatile environments. This study examines the role of television journalism in crisis reporting in Suleja LGA, focusing on its contributions, challenges, and impact on public awareness and policy responses.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Crisis reporting in Suleja LGA is fraught with challenges, including limited access to conflict zones, misinformation, and the risk of sensationalism. While television journalism has the potential to inform and educate the public during crises, it often struggles with balancing speed and accuracy. Research by Yusuf and Ibrahim (2024) reveals that poorly framed crisis reports can exacerbate tensions, spread panic, and undermine trust in media institutions. This study investigates the role of television journalism in crisis reporting in Suleja LGA, addressing the challenges and ethical considerations that influence its effectiveness.
