ABSTRACT

This study is aimed at examining the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting, a study of Atlantic FM Uyo. Broadcasting has been at the forefront of many technological changes, mostly in digitalization and enhancement of existing technology. For example, digital technology now permits listeners to obtain traffic information and news per se, while listening to a cassette, compact disc or radio station etc. The quantitative research design was used in which cross-sectional survey method was adopted while the data collection instrument was the questionnaire. Findings showed that the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in broadcast reporting at Atlantic FM, Uyo, have helped to increase the performance of the station’s staff and boost the output of the radio station generally. It was therefore recommended that for more positive impact and better output in broadcast reporting at Atlantic FM, Uyo the management of the radio station should tackle the problems of staff to satisfy the need of those staff on the lower cadre which includes drivers, cleaners, messengers, gate men and plant operators.
