Findings from the study revealed that the human interest frame was the dominant frame of reportage with 35% of total reports while the security and attribution of responsibility frames had a considerable amount of stories with 23% and 18% respectively. Further findings from the analysis revealed that the stories on OPD II were interpretative as majority (71%) of the stories were reported using the interpretative genres of editorials, feature stories, columns/opinions and interviews. From the findings, it is recommended the media and the military should in subsequent exercises like this to prepare the members of the society for an upcoming exercise by carrying public service announcements on the issue while the military should organize press conferences on issues like this to avoid misconceptions and create awareness.
