    (Journal of Communication and Media Technology, 2024-04) ADEROBAGUN Remilekun Mary; Waheed Bayonle Busari
    The study investigated the influence of “health file” on Lead City 89.1 FM on healthy living among Lead City University undergraduates. Four (4) research questions were answered by the study. The descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of this study consisted of all undergraduate students of the Department of Mass Communication at Lead City University, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. A self-designed structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data obtained were analysed using frequency distribution tables, simple percentages, and charts while One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the instrument. The finding of the study revealed that most of the undergraduates preferred personal hygiene programmes as well as health files on food and nutrition, endemic and epidemic communicable diseases like hepatitis, cholera, and dengue. The programme, health file, was found to be of great benefit to the student populace as it greatly influenced their healthy living. The study recommends that Lead City 89.1FM should promote its programme schedule on social media platforms accessible to the station and the general student populace. The study also recommends that Lead City 89.1FM should conduct audience research at the end of every programme quarter to know the kinds of health file programmes the audience would like to have in the programme schedule thereby producing acceptable programmes laden with educational and healthrelated subjects.

    REVISITING THE ACCOUNTABILITY ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN CONTEMPORARY NIGERIA
    (International Journal of Research in Humanities, Arts and Literature (IMPACT: IJRHAL), 2022-02) Waheed Bayonle Busari; Anthony Apeh Amedu
    Section 22 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution (Amended) states that “the press, radio, television and other agencies of mass media shall at all times be free to upload the foundational objectives contained in the Chapter 2 of the constitution and uphold the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people.” From the forgoing, this paper seeks to examine the role of the media in promoting accountability in governance looking at some factors such as environment, technological innovation, legal system and media regulation. Social Responsibility theory served as a building block for this study. The study adopted qualitative approach, adopting focus group discussion (FGD) using 12 journalists from 12 different media houses based in Ibadan, Oyo State. Results obtained were analyzed and presented in Percentage tables. Findings showed that the environment was not favourable in terms of societal and welfare of journalists, likewise the legal regulations being introduced every day have the tendency to affect the effectiveness of the media in holding the government accountable. The study recommends that journalists and media professionals should always have in mind the social responsibility function of the media and their place at the Fourth Estate of the realm as the citizens wait on them to provide check and balances on the government for the purpose of accountability.
