Abstract |
|
|
| Journalism means a practice of investigating, collecting, verifying, preparing, or editing for dissemination of information, commentary, opinion or analysis, including but not limited to news or current affairs.
In this paper, we are going to investigate how journalism can play a role in socioeconomic development of Nyagatare town. The media industry is an important sector for any region, mostly because of its significant contribution to socioeconomic development. The regional ‘media industry’ is known more as a socio-cultural change agent than a ‘business enterprise’. The present paper takes a look at the history and growth of broadcasting media in Nyagatare town (in the Eastern Province of Rwanda), and reviews its contributions and operational issues, as an independent industry.
