| Role of Mass Media in Promotion of Family Planning in Bangladesh |
This study has been made to examine the levels, differentials and determinants of female access to mass media in Nigeria. Studies in access to mass media differentials provide information for assessing inequalities among women with respect to mass media. In response, about two fifths (39.0%) of the respondent listen to the radio weekly. Only 18.0% watch television weekly while only a little proportion of ever-married women read newspaper weekly. Multivariate analysis shows that respondents place of residence, education, economic status, geographical region, ownership of radio and ownership of TV appeared as most significant variables in determining access to mass media. This study helps to identify those underprivileged segments of women who experience lower access to mass media
