NEWS PROGRAMMES these are regularly scheduled Radio or Television programes that report current events. News is typically reported in a series of individual stories that are presented by one or more anchors. A news program can include live or recorded interviews by field reporters, expert opinions, opinion poll results, and occasional editorial content. It is very improtant to know that the news programme covers virtually every other aspect of Radio or Television programming.

The Drama continues

Tinubu hits out at Jonathan Hear him: "The Jonathan Presidency is willing to sacrifice the lives of countless Nigerians so that it can continue to lord it over Nigerians. If they could shoot a current Senator in broad daylight on a Sunday imagine the mayhem they will set upon the average citizen seeking to advance his political rights. The people’s rights to freedom of association, expression and liberty are constitutionally guaranteed, but have been effectively curtailed by the Jonathan led government. “The people have the inalienable right to choose or associate with any political party of their choice. Sadly, a Presidency that was a major beneficiary of constitutional democracy conspires in Abuja in to desecrate our political rights and mortgages our democracy. It is a deep tragedy that the public’s money is being used to employ people and weapons to shoot at the public. This is the depths of political immorality.”
