dc.description	The newspapers as gender-setters have influence in ordering the course of events by framing issues around such events in certain ways. Such pattern of framing can attract attention and bring about desired response to such issues. It is in this regard that this paper, through content analysis research design, studied two Nigerian newspapers in order to understand the news environment in which child rights is portrayed and the consequences it has for the realisation of the rights of the child. The finding shows that the current coverage of children’s issues by the Nigerian newspapers may not deliver much benefits as regards the realisation of the rights of the child due to low coverage and inadequate prominence given to children, lack of good treatment of the issue with appropriate genres, as well as poor engagement of children themselves on issues that affect them.
