POPULIST AGAINST CONVENTIONAL TELEVISION BROADCASTING

??

Television Broadcasting Simply Means The Initial Transmission By Wire Or Over The Air, Including That By Satellite, In Unencoded Or Encoded Form, Of Television Programmes Intended For Reception By The Public. It Also Includes The Communication Of Programmes Between Undertakings With A View To Their Being Relayed To The Public {Personal Emphasis- And Also Get Instant Feedbacks From Both The People And The Government}

?

The Basic Principles Of Conventional Broadcasting Is All About News- Which Is Consistently Reliable And Authoritative, Accurate, Objective, And Comprehensive. Here It Means A Balanced And Comprehensive Projection A Country/People, Their Thoughts And Institutions, Reflecting The Diversity Of The Country’s Culture And Society.

?

Brusquely, The Evolution Of Social Media Is Currently Affecting The Quality, Authenticity, Originality And Trust Of Conventional Broadcasting, Which Several Audiences Used To Hold With A High Esteem. Before The Emergence Of Social Media Like Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp And Twitter Among Others, Different Audiences Relied On The Conventional Broadcast From Electronic Media Like The Television And Radio, As Well As The Print Media Like Newspapers And Magazines For Their Daily News. With Conventional Broadcasting, Programmes And News Reporting Were Held With Trust And Majority Of People Believed Every Information That Was Released Via Television, Radio, Newspapers And Magazines As The Gospel Truth.

Every One With A Smart Phone Today Is A News Broadcasters And They Are Practicing Citizen Broadcasting, Simply Because They Have Smartphones With Internet Connectivity, And With That, Conventional Broadcasting Is Being Battered.?In Most Cases, The Type Of Information That Is Disseminated Via Social Media Is Conflicting With The Authentic Information And This Creates Room For Doubt, A Development That Has Eroded Trust From The Audience Who Are In Continuous Search Of Various Forms Of News Items.

?

Unfortunately Today, Most Television Stations Have Bought In This Frenzy To Engage In Populist Broadcasting In Place Of A Conventional Broadcasting That Gave Open Avenue To Balance, Fair And Equitable News Coverage And Reportage-

?

Populist Broadcasting Cut Across The Various Live Political, Social Programmes And News Reportage That Emphasize The Idea Of "The People" Whether Right Or Wrong And Juxtapose This Group Against "The Elite" And The Government. Simply Put Broadcasting That Frequently Associated With Subjective Views, Anti-Establishment And Anti-Political Sentiment. Mostly With Biased Guests On Sets Analyzing National Issues With Idiosyncratic And Narrow Minded View Points, Airing Or Putting Up Uneven Coverage/Reportage, Anti-Party Scampering Comments And Anti-Government Policies, Subjectivity Instead Of Objectivity To View Points, Etc.

?

The Level Of Poverty, Youth Employment And Anti-Peoples Policy By The Government Of Today Have Given Rise To Populist Broadcasting But The Truth Still Remain That Conventional Broadcasting Still Remain The Best. Government May Have Birthed These Societal Anomalies We Have Witnessed Over The Years, However, Broadcasters Have A Responsibility To Call Out Government But Should Be Done In Such A Way To Give The Government An Opportunity For Rebuttals. Populist Broadcasting Is Never In Agreement With The Tripod Principle Of Fairness, Balanced And Objectivity In Broadcasting

?

Many Today Prefer Populist Television Channels That Can Only Assuage Their Angers And Frustrations Towards {Government, Persons Or Institutions} In The Interim, However, Conventional Broadcasting Remains The Corrective Platform For A Better Growth And Development In Any Society.?
