The study conducted content analysis of agricultural news in four Nigerian newspapers namely Punch, Vanguard, Observers and Hope published between January 2022 and December, 2023. Specifically, it described the nature of placement prominence given to agricultural coverage on pages of selected newspapers in Nigeria, ascertained the sources of agricultural information published by the selected newspapers and examined the frequency of published of agricultural news. Using a content analysis design and a multi-sampling technique, 384 newspaper editions were selected and coded using a validated code sheet with an inter-coder reliability coefficient exceeding 0.80 (Holistics formular). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-wallis test to determine difference in placement, while analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences in the frequency of coverage and sources of agricultural information across the newspapers. Findings showed that agricultural news received low prominence across all papers, with the majority of reports placed on inside/special pages rather than front or back pages. Agricultural news was predominantly brief or moderately sized (1-10 inches), and photographs were the most common visual aid, while cartons and explanatory graphics were rarely used. Across the value chain, crop production (40 reports), marketing (71), and government policies (72) received comparatively higher coverage than technical areas such as veterinary services (81) and nursery practices (10). The study concludes that national newspapers provide broader more development oriented agricultural reporting than state-based newspapers, though overall coverage remains inadequate in prominence and diversity. It recommends that Nigerian print media adopt more comprehensive and far more inclusive reporting strategies, increase the use of data driven visual and prioritize a wider range of agricultural sub-sectors
