Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

In recent years, News Framing Practices has emerged as a critical factor shaping health awareness levels across organizations operating in and around Kano State. As institutions grapple with the pressures of globalization, regulatory reform, and shifting stakeholder expectations, understanding how news framing practices relates to health awareness levels has become an important area of both scholarly and practical concern.

Within the context of Kano State, this relationship carries particular significance. Organizations in this setting operate under a distinct combination of economic, regulatory, and market conditions that may amplify or dampen the effect of news framing practices on health awareness levels, making a context-specific inquiry both timely and necessary.
