Abstract.
This study compares how The Nation and Vanguard newspapers framed President Tinubu's certificate saga, utilizing the Framing and Social Responsibility theories. Both newspapers extensively covered the saga, with similar framing patterns observed. The majority of stories were positioned inside the newspapers, comprising 62% of the publications. Visual elements, including illustrations, played a crucial role in depicting the complexities of the saga. Moreover, a substantial portion of the stories conveyed an unfavorable stance, contributing to shaping public discourse. Despite slight differences in story placements and monthly frequency, no significant disparities in framing patterns between the two newspapers were found. Recommendations include enhancing prominence in print media coverage, promoting selective use of visual elements for authenticity, and advocating for the representation of diverse voices to facilitate comprehensive national dialogue and development.
