dc.description.abstractThe study examined the extent as well as patterns of conflict and peace oriented framings in three popular and widely circulated newspapers in Nigeria through a quantitative content analysis to ascertain the framing of news on ethnic issues. The unit of analysis was individual article that contained related items while the reliability coefficients calculated using Holsti’s formula resulted to 75.5%. This study discovered that in the framing of ethnic issues, the newspapers differed significantly on conflict framing. However, as much as high attention was given to conflict framing, it was discovered also that peace framing was not totally disregarded by the three newspapers. The newspapers have not entirely done very badly but have left much to be desired. The paper has significantly expanded understanding of how media cover conflicts and inflame the behaviours that lead to or worsen them.en_US
