This study explores the perceptions of online audiences of Newsday and The Herald on the coverage of war veterans by these two papers in 2016. The study seeks to identify the reasons that influence audiences to have varied perceptions on the coverage of war veterans by these two daily Zimbabwean papers in 2016. The research also shows how online news commentary sections are an alternative platform for audience engagement with themselves and with the media houses that publish newspapers. The research made use of theories like the digital public sphere and the encoding and decoding model to better understand the phenomenon of online audiences. Archival research was employed by the researchers to obtain data, which was thematically presented. The research findings confirm that audiences hold varied perceptions on the coverage on war veterans in 2016. The perceptions varied from those that viewed the coverage as credible, hostile and some that viewed the coverage as tainted by subjected views and vested interests of the publishers. The findings also reflect that the commentary section works as a new form of a public sphere, where people engage in debates on topical issues that the media represent to them.
