Television Production of Yesteryears, Today and in the Future: Impact of Reduced Collaboration in TV News Production on Job Satisfaction in Nigeria

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of reduced collaboration in TV news production on job satisfaction and to explore the contributing effect of modern technologies on reduced collaboration in TV news production in Nigeria. The researchers utilized a descriptive survey research design with a structured questionnaire as the instrument for data collection. The data for the study were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a one-way multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA). The result of the study showed that reduced collaboration decreases job satisfaction. Also, modern technologies increase reduced collaboration. Further results showed that modern technologies have led to reduced collaboration in private TV stations more than federal and state TV stations. It was also found that the creative application of modern technologies will lead to increased collaboration and job satisfaction among TV stations in Nigeria.

Impact of Job Risks on Job Performance and Propensity to Quit Journalism Among Television Camerapersons Covering Conflicts in Nigeria

“…Even though camerapersons are part of the teamwork in television production, their role is hardly highlighted in extant literature. Researchers (Talabi et al, 2022; Witzthum, 2004) argue that television production requires high team spirit and effective coordination among people such as correspondents, camerapersons, editors, video editors, and producers, among other personnel who work collectively to ensure that viewers get content that is accurate, appealing, informing as well as educating. Murrie (1998), in a study, reported that with the innovations in technology and the eventual advent of mini-cameras and other electronic newsgathering approaches, it is expected that the teamwork in television production will shrink.…”

“…Despite this, research is yet to provide empirical evidence regarding the impact of job risks on TV camerapersons. Instead, researchers (Chinweobo-Onuoha et al, 2021; Pain & Chen, 2019; Talabi et al, 2022) have focused on other aspects such as risks associated with news gathering, the impact of new technologies on collaboration in TV production, among other areas. Even at that, research is generally scanty on issues related to TV camerapersons.…”

Exploring the Use of Wh-Questions for Reading Comprehension Text at a Rural-Based Secondary School

“…Although questions have interrogative forms or functions (Ren & Wu, 2023), they are every so often distinguished from interrogatives that are used grammatically. To indicate the indispensability of the use of questions, numerous radio and television programmes are hosted worldwide to elicit information from people (Talabi, Adaja, Bello, Adelabu, Apuke & Celestine, 2023). On the other hand, the 'a question' may also mean a British radio or television programme where members of the public ask politicians and other well-known people invited onto the programme for their opinions about issues that are in the news (BBC News, 2023).…”
