    There is a rich literature on health communication generally. Most of these literatures dwell on diseases and viruses (see Kampf, Todt, Pfaender & Steinermann, 2020). However, rarely is anything found on the emergent virus COVID-19 otherwise known as Corona virus. This gives impetus to the study which aim is to analyse messages people post on social media about the virus. A purposive sampling of selected messages on ASUU Congress Whatsapp platform of Academic Staff Union of Universities, University of Ilorin Chapter was used for the analysis between 1st January and 31st March 2020. Results show that most of the messages were on preventive measures as their hallmark was to create awareness on how to forestall people from being vulnerable to it. The study concludes that outbreak of novel diseases and viruses are bound to emerge, and social media will continue to serve as platforms for people to share messages about emerging diseases and viruses. Among other things, the study recommends sustained use of the social media by people to share not only preventive but also corrective measures about viruses as they emerge.

    This research was conducted to examine and compare the prevalence of public officials’ corruption frames in the online version among three popular Nigerian newspapers. Individual news article on public officials’ corruption was the unit of analysis while the reliability coefficients calculated using Holsti’s formula resulted to 90.0%. This study discovered that in the framing of 2016 public official corruption issues, the newspapers varied significantly with p=0.002 and p=0.000 respectively on corruption frames. However, the study, anchored on framing theory, identified the economic consequence frames, the responsibility attributes, and the treatment frames in the corruption issues. Further results revealed that the economic consequence frame identified the financial losses with the total percentage of 63.8%. The Nigerian government was framed as having highest responsibility for corruption eradication with the total percentage of 79.6%. Therefore, the responsible government was recommended for treatment of corruption in Nigeria with the total percentage of 82.2%. While this study is focusing on the aspect of media frames, future research can attempt to explore the area of audience frames which is not covered in this study.
