Abstract

This study explored how the different media in Nigeria report banditry currently ravaging some parts of the country. We sampled two newspapers and two television stations to articulate the study. The result showed, among others, that both TV and newspapers did not adequately set the agenda on the problem of banditry in Nigeria. Comparatively, newspapers did better than TV stations. We discussed these findings in the light of agenda-setting and made suggestions for further studies.
