Radio and television news refers to the broadcast of information, events, and reports to the public through sound or both sound and moving images to keep them informed about local and international happenings.

Radio news (labaran rediyo) relies solely on audio. Listeners hear the voice of the newsreader (mai karanta labarai) or reporter (mai ba da rahoto) without seeing them. Television news (labaran talabijin) combines both audio and video. Viewers can see the news presenter, video clips, and pictures of the events being reported.

Information is broadcast through various media outlets. In Nigeria, these media outlets are known as kafafen yaɗa labarai.

Common examples of media outlets (kafafen yaɗa labarai) in Nigeria and across the world include:

1. Gidan Rediyon Tarayya na Kaduna (FRCN Kaduna)
2. Gidan Talabijin na Ƙasa (NTA)
3. Sashen Hausa na BBC (BBC Hausa Service)
4. Sashen Hausa na Muryar Amurka (VOA Hausa Service)

Summarising News (Ƙwarewa a Taƙaita Magana)

The steps for summarising a news broadcast are:

1. Listen to the entire news item carefully without interruption.
2. Write down key words, names of people, places, and the main event during the broadcast.
3. Identify the main idea of the news story.
4. Write a short sentence or paragraph that combines these key details, leaving out minor details and personal opinions.

Example of a News Broadcast and its Summary

Below is an example of a short news report in Hausa, followed by its English translation, and how it can be summarised.

“Gwamnatin jihar Kano ta ƙaddamar da sabon shirin dasa bishiyoyi dubu ɗari biyar domin yaƙi da kwararar hamada da kuma samar da inuwa a makarantun firamare da sakandare na jihar.

The state governor urged students and teachers to take care of the trees planted in their schools to ensure the success of this project.”

How to Listen and Summarise a Live News Broadcast

This practical procedure helps learners develop active listening and summarisation skills using a real radio or television set.

The required materials are:

1. A working radio or television set
2. A notebook
3. A pen or pencil

The procedure involves the following steps:

1. Tune the radio or television to a station broadcasting news in Hausa (such as BBC Hausa or NTA Hausa news).
2. Sit quietly in a place free from noise and distractions.
3. As the newsreader presents the news, write down the names of places, people, and the main event mentioned in the first news item.
4. Immediately after the news item ends, write a single sentence that explains what happened, where it happened, and who was involved.
5. Read over the written sentence to ensure it is grammatically correct and contains only the main point of the news.

Summary

Radio and television news are essential tools for keeping communities informed. Radio news uses sound, while television news uses both sound and pictures. News can be classified into local, international, sports, business, and entertainment categories. Developing the skills of listening carefully and summarising helps learners understand and share information accurately.
