    Against the backdrop of an ever-increasing mortality rate in Nigeria due to mismanaged health lifestyles, this paper interrogates the role of the Nigerian Newspapers in the publication and promotion of healthy lifestyles. Cognizant of the necessary role the mass media plays in the diffusion of knowledge, the paper seeks to determine the extent to which Nigerian Newspapers discuss healthy lifestyle for the prevention of diseases. From a content analysis of four national newspapers, the paper finds out that the Nigerian print media is constructively contributing to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle in its content.
