It is no longer news that corruption has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigerian society. Despite efforts aimed at combating the vice especially the war against it by the mass media, corrupt practices seem to have taken the centre stage in all facets of life in our national affairs. This study focused on a comparative examination of Daily Trust and The Nation Newspapers' coverage of Economic and Financial Crimes in Nigeria with emphasis on coverage pattern, depth and prominence attached to such crimes and potential effects on readers. The research comparatively examined 48 issues each of the Daily Trust and The Nation newspapers published in the first year (2015 - 2016) of Buhari's first tenure (96 issues for both newspapers), and another 96 editions each of the both newspapers in the first year of his second tenure (2019 - 2020), making a total of 192 editions for both newspapers for the two years under review. Systematic sampling was adopted to select Monday editions of both newspapers. The research was hinged on Agenda Setting theory and Social Responsibility Theory. Findings from this study show that although Nigerian newspapers often feature reports on economic and financial crimes, especially during Buhari's first tenure, there appeared to be a noticeable drop in the coverage of the economic crimes in the second tenure compared to the significant attention given to it during the first tenure. Additionally, the observed discrepancies in coverage between the two selected newspapers followed a political and regional line. The study concluded that Daily Trust and The Nation newspapers covered economic and financial crimes with political and regional sentiments. It was recommended that newspapers be given unhindered access to relevant information that can help prosecute the fight against corruption without bias or political undertone, while government should evolve policies and legal frameworks which fast track the prosecution of war against corruption.
