The objective of the study is to find out the effectiveness of media messages in generating awareness and knowledge on the effects of Female Genital Mutilation. The study adopted the survey method of data collection. The sample size of 400 was determined for the study using Taro Yamane’s formula. The findings from the study show that the awareness level of the prevalence of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) practice is very high among those practicing it, their view that FGM is an unhealthy practice notwithstanding.

However, it was recommended that local dialect should be employed to ensure that media messages on FGM achieve their purpose among rural dwellers who may have difficulty understanding messages in English and the media should add more educative programmes on the need to abolish FGM on audio-visual channels on our television. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Mass Communication project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of social media on students academic performance (a study of students of university of Abuja) »Impact of social media on modern journalism (a study of journalists in Makurdi metropolis) »Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on radio news reporting (a study of Atlantic FM Uyo) »Perception of cyber crime among Nigerian youths (a study of Caritas university) »The effect of government ownership and control of mass media objectivity reporting (a case study of Enugu state broadcasting services) »The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»The effect of AKBC tv peak milk advertisement on the consumers buying habit»Effect of public relations on the consumer (a case study of premier breweries plc)
