Background of the Study
Television talk shows have become a powerful medium for promoting political and civic engagement, particularly among the youth. These programs, which often feature discussions on governance, policies, and societal issues, provide young people with opportunities to engage with political leaders and experts. In Jibia Local Government Area (LGA) of Katsina State, television talk shows have gained popularity, especially among the youth, who are increasingly interested in participating in governance and societal development. By discussing issues such as youth empowerment, political participation, and policy reforms, television talk shows can inspire and motivate young people to take active roles in their communities. This study aims to examine the impact of television talk shows on youth engagement in governance in Jibia, exploring how these programs influence youth attitudes toward political participation and governance.
