| dc.description.abstract | Thi s study intends to look at the ro le of print media In the fight agai nst corruption In Ethiopia by focusing on coverage. Both quantitative and qualitative methodology were used to analyze the data. Content analysis was employed as a main method. In depth interviews were also made wi th edi tors and journalists of the newspapers. Agenda selling and social responsibi lity theories were used as theoretical framework . To gather the data for the content analysis, five month's editions of the fo ur newspapers (The Ethiopian Herald, The Reporter, Fortune and Capital) spanning from May 13 ,20 13 to September 13,2013 was taken as samples of the study. All corruption related stories found were coll ected and content analyzed. The analysis was made based on the type, theme, source and placement of stories. The data found from the interviews were used to back up the anal ys is. The result of the study reveals that all the newspapers gave considera ble coverage to corruption issues. The newspapers coverage of corruption was dominated by news genre. Most of the articles were informative rather than educative. Fraud was the leading form of corruption themes. In terms of source used, even though there were differences among the newspapers, law enforcement bodies served as their major sources of corruption stories. Regarding placement, The Reporter was better in placing corruption related issues on its front page than Capital, Fortune and The Ethiopian Herald. Based on the slUdy, a couple of recommendations that might help to lessen the li mi tatio ns of the press are suggested. | en_US |
