An Examination of the Effect of Education on Women in Journalism

An Examination of the Effect of Education on Women in Journalism CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Of The Study According to Kefas (2009), journalism education is a system of education that facilitates the training of contributors to newspapers, magazines, radio, and television, as well as editors of literature for mass audiences. Journalism education, unlike much university activity, is non-experimental, with its curriculum influenced heavily by a limited set of such immediate, externally derived conditions (Stephens,2000).

Elaine Matthiaws, a NASA scientist, attempted to estimate the world's initial forest cover based on climatically suited places and compared it to the condition in 1970. She came to the conclusion that the original cover had lost 15% of its value (Cleaver et al, 1992). According to Cleaver, the total area of tropical forest lost each year ranges from 133,000 to 245,000 square kilometers. According to surveys, the rate of deforestation in emerging countries has been increasing. In West Africa, for...

An Evaluation of the Impact of Mass Media Campaigns on Breast Cancer Among Women in Asaba, Delta State.   CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1       BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The issue of breast cancer among women cannot be over-emphasized nor can it be overstated in the world today. Particularly, there are reports that breast cancer is the major cause of death among women globally (Schliemann, Htay, Dahlui, Paramasivam, Christopher, Cardwell, Tamin, Somasundaram, Donnelly, Su, and Donnelly, 2020). Okeke (2018) in his work adds that the menace of breast cancer has killed several women. This high mortality or death rate can be traced to a number of critical factors; to mention a few; late or delayed detection, lack of awareness, denial, bad understanding and perception of cancer/disease, emotional stress etc. There is also ample evidence...
