The objectives of the study were to:
1.4 Research Questions
To give organized direction to the research, answers to the following question would be sought.
This study will show the various trans involved in processing of broadcast news, by typing to analyze factors that hinder the used of ICT in broadcast news processing.
It will provide a pigeon hole through which ICT could be deployed for effective broadcast news production.
To help show the recent advances in our ability to communicate and process information in digital form. It will also unfold the extent of which ICT have immensely effects and reshaped the life, economy and social well being of many people. To also give impetus for rapid globalization.
The scope of this work will capture the impact of ICT on media houses in Nigeria. The reason is to help assess the present ICT influence in our media houses for proper comprehension of this work.
