due to the fact that most people can access it and verify any information.
Through access from the internet different social media platforms show varied
growth. While TV is one of the most sophisticated means of mass communication
media. It is an ideal medium to convey information to illiterate and literate in
urban and rural areas on whom it would have a profound impact. Still, radio and
newspaper play an essential role in communication today by remaining available
when other communication mediums, such as television and the Internet, are
rendered inaccessible by weather or other interference.
