Clustered sampling approach was employed to administered 293 questionnaire copies to respondents (Ijaw youths) in Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta states. Result showed that 73.4% of the respondents closely followed the Niger-Delta struggle and were able to adequately access the various print media in their respective domain. Majority of the respondents (95.2%) perceived the media contents of the three selected publications as being biased and inconsistent in their reportage during the period of the conflict.
