CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- Background of the Study
Newspaper have derived great relevance as a medium of communication, for their roles as carriers of current information.
This relevance according to sandman (2009) is attached to newspapers because of its contents on the television or elsewhere. This is why publishers consider it very important, if not obligatory, to make the newspaper attractive to potential readers. Getting out newspaper is ration on newspaper has been the most important form of communication in the conduct of human affairs, and that over the years face o f the more dramatic radio, television and now the internet.
Apart from news and current affairs for potential readers, publisher strives to make provision for other items on the newspaper for reader. Batta (2007) shares this view as he sees newspaper as a journal of record where all points of view are recorded. Udoakah (1994) also posits that a newspaper has a wide varity of material published in it which includes editorial opinion, criticism, entertainment features.
It is important t to note that news, as well as other items on a newspaper are arranged in a manner pleasing to the eyes. This makes heavier the job of putting out a newspaper.
