Street hawking, driven by poverty, cultural norms, and inadequate policies, exposes children to exploitation, abuse, and educational disruption, affecting over 10.5 million out-of-school minors. Utilizing agenda-setting and developmental media theories, the research employed a survey design with questionnaires administered to 200 respondents in Ilorin, Kwara State, comprising parents, educators, and media consumers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Findings reveal that broadcast media, particularly radio and television, have significantly raised awareness (80% exposure rate) and shaped attitudes (70% influence on views), yet behavioral changes remain limited, with only 30% of respondents avoiding patronizing child hawkers or reporting incidents. Key barriers include insufficient funding (70%), poor rural coverage, unengaging content (55%), and weak government-media collaboration (65%). Socio-economic factors like poverty further dilute the impact. The study concludes that while broadcast media is pivotal for advocacy, its success requires integrated efforts with policy enforcement and community programs. Recommendations include enhancing culturally sensitive content, increasing funding, expanding rural reach, and fostering inter-agency partnerships to bridge the awareness-action gap and promote child welfare....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) »Coverage of foreign news by Nigerian newspapers: A content analysis of vanguard and daily sun newspapers»Audience perception of Nigerian newspapers on the internet»Impact of mobile phone on agricultural information among Otukpo farmers»The Effects of Television Commercials on Buying Habits of Enugu Metropolis ( A Case Study of Omo and Elephant Detergents )»Influence of news censorship on the performance of media houses in Nigeria (a study of Nasarawa broadcasting service, Lafia) »Importance of indigenous language in broadcasting media»Role of communication technology in improving work efficiency of AIT staff (a study of AIT Abuja) »Influence of television advertising on consumer buying habits of Guinness stout in Ikeja community of Lagos state»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)
