Abstract
Nature has endowed man with many resources that if properly harnessed, would enable him to live comfortably on the earth. Over the centuries, the use and abuse of these resources has led to their depletion. As the 21st century draws near, people have become more sensitive to the effects of a degraded environment on their lives. The main tool for this sensitization is information. This study is devoted to the coverage of environmental information in four nationally distributed newspapers in Nigeria. The newspapers were studied over a 10‐year period to ascertain the level of coverage. Analysis showed that the energy sector is the most reported of all environmental issue and that noise pollution is the least reported environmental category. Suggestions are made on how to improve the level of environmental awareness among Nigerians.
