Abstract

This paper focuses on the impact of mass media on reducing environmental pollution. the environment is something we are very accustomed to. it's everything that makes up our ambiances and influence our ability to live on the surface—the air we take in, the water that covers most of the earth's surface. the environment, which is made up of everything around us, is deteriorating every day. conventional methods will be used to raise people's awareness of the environment. mass media is crucial in raising public awareness of the environment. Like food and water, the environment is a basic necessity for survival. However, our actions, however, have greatly exacerbated environmental issues. realizing our errors, we shall make laudable efforts to correct them, and sufficient media attention may increase the likelihood that any mission relating to the environment will be successful. the government of kogi state's most recent initiatives to promote sanitation have been successful due to the combined efforts of the government and media. this paper will explore how mass media can reduce environmental pollution in kogi state in line with the best global practices.
