This study investigates how two prominent Nigerian newspapers, Punch and Vanguard, report on teenage pregnancy. It seeks to understand the narratives and frames in their coverage and to identify the underlying social, cultural, and institutional factors that influence editorial decisions. Specifically, the study aims to identify the factors that determine the coverage of teenage pregnancy by newspapers, the prominence given to teenage pregnancy reportage by gatekeepers, the rationale behind the choice and focus of reporting teenage pregnancy issues in Nigeria, and the challenges encountered in covering teenage pregnancy-related issues. Based on the framing theory, the study employs a qualitative research design, utilising in-depth interviews to gather its key data. Interviews were conducted with one key informant from each of the chosen newspapers, namely the editors of Punch and Vanguard. The findings reveal that health, socioeconomic consequences, and social responsibility are critical factors shaping the coverage of teenage pregnancy in Punch and Vanguard newspapers. The editors of both outlets underscored the multifaceted nature of teenage pregnancy, identifying it not only as a health crisis but also as a sociocultural and economic concern with serious implications for the girl child. Both newspapers affirmed that editorial direction and corporate social responsibility strongly influence their decision to prioritise teenage pregnancy issues. The study concludes that editorial dynamics and sociocultural forces influence narratives around the reportage of teenage pregnancy in Nigeria.
