The use of digital platforms to engage with other farmers and consumers in the agricultural industry has recently been advocated. Particularly social media have come to light as user-friendly and easily accessible tools for farmers. This study, based on the uses and Gratifications Theory, employs structured interviews with Bangladeshi farmers to study how they see social media as tools for their agricultural practices. The study reveals that farmers stay connected on social media like Facebook groups, Messenger groups, Facebook pages, and YouTube channels. They prefer social media to traditional sources of agricultural information. From obtaining ideas for agricultural output to marketing agricultural products, they use them for a variety of purposes. As shown by the results, farmers claim to use social media to communicate with consumers, look for agricultural information, and keep continuous communication with customers leading to the creation of a brand. While using social media, they face several problems like inadequacy of information and confusing information. Many of their expectations from the government to overcome these limitations emerge from the interview. Farmers expressed their expectation that government-certified doctors’ active participation and easy access to them on social media, especially for treatment-related information, would play a vital role in their farming.","PeriodicalId":307123,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Media, Journalism and Mass Communications","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123565569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apart from theological differences arising from different concepts of the faith and ecumenism, the Church is faced with liturgical differences. Differences in interpretation of the scripture as well as the human limitation of sin and afflictions like sickness and death which have brought about a Pentecost movement in Nigeria that cannot be rivaled by any country in Sub-Saharan Africa tells the story more.","PeriodicalId":307123,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Media, Journalism and Mass Communications","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115652219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This not with standing is attributed to the socio-economic structure of the society. Even after the advent of conventional media, the patronage remained economically driven and motivated. This means, affording television set, radio set and purchasing newspaper is highly concentrated in the hands of economically viable audience. The eventuality played significant role on the audience of mass media. As technology grew to a strong level, the conventional media access became cheaper. For instance, radio became the most ubiquitous communication gadget mainly because of the countless mediums through which its signals can be accessed. Today, mobile phones, cars, tricycle and other vehicles are now embedded with radio decoders. This tells of how available Abstract: The study was conducted to comparatively analyze the patronage of social and conventional media among students; a case study of University of Maiduguri. The study is significant because it helped in unveiling the paradigm shift in respect of social and conventional media patronage. The objectives of the study areto examine the level of patronage of conventional and social media by students of University of Maiduguri, to find out the reasons for the preference of either social or conventional media by University of Maiduguri students, to determine the reliance of the students on either social media or conventional media. Uses and gratification theory was adopted as philosophical guide. Survey was the research method used, with questionnaire as instrument that was purposively distributed among 200 respondents. The survey established that patronage of media (either social or conventional) among students is absolutely positive. Simply put, every student patronizes either social or conventional media. Social media has higher level of patronage compared to the conventional media among the students and their patronage. There is high commitment of the students to the type of media they patronize. According to this finding, the higher number obtained from patronage of social media influence level of commitment in this finding. This further means that degree of patronage of social media is higher than conventional media. The amount of time audience allocates to the patronage of media either social or conventional is huge. This finding is also influenced by the first finding regarding the number of those that patronize conventional and social media. This means the amount of time spent on social media is higher than the conventional media by the students. There is exorbitant preference to the social media than conventional media. There is still significant number of audience who prefer the conventional media to social media. Audiences prefer conventional media because of accuracy and reliability of information.

The importance of social networking became apparent in June 2009 when the American State Department asked the administration of Twitter to postpone their periodic maintenance so that they can follow the Iranian protests. Also, the importance of social media became clearer when a Twitter user in Indonesia was the first to tweet about Bali (Indonesia) explosions in July 2009 before most of the main news organizations. The social networks have changed the news industry and the practice of journalism. Google, Facebook and Twitter competed for the audience with The New York Times, the Guardian, CNN, and the BBC which was previously described as the Fourth State. Now, researchers are calling social media \"The Fifth State\" (Alegandro, 2010). Abstract: This study seeks to explore the nature of the relationship between Egyptian journalists and the Social Media through a survey conducted in July and August 2018 on a sample of 120 journalists working in some of the major national and private print and electronic newspapers and news sites. In addition, in-depth interviews were made with some of the editors and media professionals in these media organizations. The results showed that there is a growing trend among the respondents to use Social Media especially Facebook to promote newspapers and press content rather than as a source of information. There has been a consensus among journalists that emphasizes the importance of credibility more than achieving beat, for fear of publishing false news. Although, the study found that they are using social media as a source of information. Most of respondents expressed their fear that the future is for social media which can swallow the traditional media, and that they should unite in search for a new formula.","PeriodicalId":307123,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Media, Journalism and Mass Communications","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129768741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
