Abstract

This study assessed the Newspaper Coverage of Economic Recession by Guardian and Vanguard newspapers. This work was done to find out how Nigerian newspapers report the current Economic Recession under Buhari Administration. Content analysis was the research method used while code sheet was the instrument used in gathering data. The population of study amounted to 138 editions of the selected newspapers, 69 editions for each. This was got through the stratified sampling technique. Based on the descriptive data analysis, the study reveals that low significance was given to the coverage of the economic recession as most of the stories by both newspapers appeared in the inside pages coupled with the fact that most of stories were not illustrated. It was discovered that most stories were not reported through the human interest angle. The researchers recommended that the newspapers should constructively attach significance to the coverage of the economic recession. The newspapers were also encouraged to report economic recession more from the angle of human interest.
