Abstract
researchers also set out to determine the level of coverage given to science and technology news by the newspapers; to ascertain the story types (genres) used in reporting science and technology by the newspapers; and identify the sources of science and technology news in the select newspapers. This study adopted quantitative content analysis approach, using agenda-setting theory as its theoretical framework. This study found, among others, that the level of coverage of the issue of discourse was low. Again, different story types were used, but the news genre was mostly applied while major sources of science and technology news were private companies and foreign media. In the vein of these findings, the researchers recommended that Nigeria’s newspapers should increase their coverage of science and technology stories. Also, features and opinion articles (by specialists in the field of science and technology) should be used to explain how most science and technology equipment function, and can be utilised.
