Using two Akwa Ibom-based newspapers, namely, The Pioneer and The Sensor, the article specifically assessed treatments given to peace-related news reports carried by the select newspapers. The period of the study covered an interval of three months, from January to March, 2019, which, because of the country's General Elections, was a height of security concerns. A major finding was that the two newspapers gave relative prominence to peace- oriented stories. Keywords: Media Form, Favourable Lead, Unfavourable Lead, Conflict, News Angle, News, Feature,
