Abstract

The study examined newspaper coverage of noise pollution in Nigeria from January to June 2017. Four national newspapers were content analyzed which are Daily sun, Vanguard, the Punch and Guardian newspaper. 724 editions of these four newspapers formed the population for the study, while 384 editions were selected as sample size using composite week sampling technique. The study was anchored on agenda setting theory. The study found that the frequency of coverage of noise pollution was very low. Similarly, no newspaper gave prominence to issues on noise pollution. The researcher did not find any editorial on noise pollution. This study recommends that serious health and environmental issues like noise pollution should be given adequate coverage by Nigerian newspapers.
