ABSTRACT
The need for this study was find out “The Apathetic Behaviour of Nigerian Journalists to Science and Technological Reporting”.  This work was motivated by the felt need to know whether they have indifferent or apathetic behaviour to science reporting beat, whether the journalists possess adequate educational and professional skill for effective science and technological reporting and whether the journalists prefer other beats such as politics, crime, economy, sports and others to science reporting.
The study equally investigated whether the journalists believe that their readers, viewers, and listeners have low interest in science and technology stories.
This study focused on practicing journalists in South-Eastern Nigeria.  Survey research method was used with the sample of the study selected through the simple random sampling method.  Questionnaire (questions), were designed and administered to the working journalists in Enugu state, Abia state, Anambra state and Imo state to generate data for the study.  After careful  collection, collation and analysis of the data collected, the four hypothesis stated in the study were empirically validated.
In addition, the result to the study equally revealed that science reporting is generally unpopular among the Nigerian Journalists, and that media managers have not done much to encourage science reporting in their respective media.
Data for the study was analyzed with the statistical instrument of chi-square and percentages.
