dc.description.abstractWe carried out a study on selected newspapers coverage of political defections in Nigeria in 2014. The purpose of the study was to analyze how selected Nigerian newspapers frame stories on political defections. Using framing theory, we purposively selected two newspapers; Daily Trust and The Nation. We adopted qualitative content analysis as a method for the study. We descriptively analyzed stories in terms of the pattern of frames and tone (positive, negative or neutral). Findings show writers’ use of different frames in their stories and this vary and the pattern of frames show elements of bias based on political affiliation. The study concluded that there is apparent bias in most of the defection stories reported in The Nation while those carried in Daily Trust are neutral. On the strength of findings, the study recommended among other things that writers should avoid obvious framing of stories which reflect bias on the basis of their political inclinations for the sake of an informed citizenry.en_US
