Abstract :
The heated debate on information flow issues between the developed and developing nations is yet to abate and there is ample evidence to support the claims by developing countries that they are marginalized in the media of the first world nations and that news on them are often negative and distorted. However, what is not receiving much attention, especially in the developing nations research circles, is the fact that news distortion, negativism, quantitative news imbalance among the First and Third world countries’ media is mutual such that the media of the third world may also be under-reporting the developed world and highlighting crisis and negative occurrences. This content analyses of two Nigerian newspapers, the Daily Sun and The Guardian, underpinned by the frames analysis theory showed that Europe is getting exactly the same treatment the West gives Nigerian or indeed African news in its media. The study uncovered very low coverage, a preponderance of negative news and emphasis on crisis in reporting Europe. The implications for policy are discussed
