These publications serve as platforms for stakeholders to engage in meaningful discussions, highlight challenges, and propose solutions. However, the effectiveness of print media coverage depends on the accuracy, depth, and frequency of reporting. This study examines how print media portrays educational reforms in Kano Municipal and evaluates its impact on public awareness and policy advocacy (Bello, 2023).
