    (Journal of Management and Social Sciences, 2022) Ahmed, Kamaldeen Arikewuyo; Oladosu, Ismail Durojaye; Sanni, Azeez Olusegun; Abiola, Olutope Lawrence; Sholola, Yusuf Ajani
    The study examined the impact of remuneration on the performance of journalists using selected journalists from media houses in Osun State. The paper adopted a survey method. It was guided by Social Theory of Journalism developed by Dennis McQuail, and Equity Theory propounded by John Adam. Findings revealed that journalists in Osun State were poorly remunerated. It was discovered that better pay for journalists will lead to better performance as the remuneration received is directly linked to the performance of journalists. Findings also showed that prevailing wage rate and ability of organisations to pay are the key factors that are responsible for the payment of remuneration of journalists in the state, which affects journalist’s editorial decision and ability to uphold the ethics of journalism leading to taking gratifications. The study recommended that media establishments should work out different types of remunerations. Other benefits for the staff (both cash and non-cash based) and should be paid as and when due. To upscale the performance of journalists, media organisations should ensure that journalists are well remunerated in order to carry out their functions satisfactorily. This paper concluded that remuneration impacts the performance of journalists in four ways out of six areas that were measured. It was equally concluded that staff remuneration affects the editorial independence of journalists and their ability to uphold the ethics of journalism. The study also concluded that remunerations and other benefits determine to a large extent, how journalists perform their professional functions and obey the guiding principles of their profession.

    Perception of Lagos Health Workers on the Influence of COVID 19 Vaccine Frames in the Print Media
    (Fountain Journal of Management and Social Sciences, 2023) Aliagan, Isiaka Zubair; Ahmed, Kamaldeen Arikewuyo; Oladosu, Ismail Durojaye; Kareem, Aminat Olabisi; Sholola, Yusuf Ajani
    This study investigated how COVID-19 vaccine frames in print media influence the perceptions of health workers at Infectious Disease Hospital Lagos (IDHL). Using a survey method, a sample of 161 respondents was generated from a population of 270 health workers at IDH, based on Taro Yamani’s formula. The study, which was anchored on framing theory, found that health workers at IDHL were influenced by the print media's COVID-19 vaccine frames, with an overall result of 47% (M=2.49, SD=1.28). Furthermore, the study revealed that more than half (65.48%) of the infectious disease health workers in Lagos perceived COVID-19 vaccine frames in print media, as shown by their mean (M=3.27, SD=1.17). The research concluded that print media frames of COVID-19 vaccines can have desirable effects on perceptions that fuel vaccine hesitancy, as well as promote desirable health perceptions that can increase vaccine uptake. However, media frames that provoke fear can indirectly instil fear in people, preventing them from taking the vaccines. Therefore, the study recommends that the print media assume more social responsibility roles in health promotion through media framing.
