circulated for profit.

local channels.

irrelevant and ineffective.

Technology now a days still continue to improve as well as the different platforms that people used
in media. As media changes its form, people also changed and forgot the importance of indigenous media

development and education programs. That’s why, we need to preserve the cultural traditions of some
elders in passing information so that next generation will reached the information pass on by seniors.
