Abstract
This study examined media framing of internally displaced persons (IDPs) of the conflict between farmers and herdsmen in Nigeria. In doing so, particular attention was paid to source, frames, language, and solution suggested. The researchers adopted a mixed method of content analysis and structured interview. Therefore, a total of 279 newspaper stories, 161 TV stories, and 47 radio stories were examined for duration of 4 years. Also, a total of 20 journalists were interviewed for the study. In the area of theory, the study used framing theory to ground the study. Data from content analysis of the news frames were handled statistically, while descriptive and inferential statistics were used only as tools for organizing, summarizing, and presenting the empirical data. Data from oral interviews were handled using thematic analysis. Result showed that the framing of IDPs differs across the different media examined.
