    The study “Perception of editorial policies of select Nigerian newspapers among Nasarawa State University academics” sought to gauge the perceptions of academic staff of NSUK on the editorial policies of Daily Trust and Daily Champion newspapers. Survey research was the design for the study and the instrument for data gathering was the Questionnaire. Study instruments were personally distributed to a sample of 250 academics with 100% percent retrieval and the data analysed to arrive at the findings. Among many others, the study found that there is open display of sentiments in the editorials of the newspapers. On the basis of the findings, the study concludes that for the sentiments to be glaring, it means there is editorial policy at Daily Trust and Daily Champion - but that sentiments and biases are visible in their publication.
