- W746404665 abstract "AbstractThis study provides a detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of the coverage of Pakistani press regarding US policy towards South Asia in the context of war on terror from January 2011 to December 2012. All unsigned editorials appeared in The News and Dawn examined by applying content analysis method containing themes related to US policy towards Pakistan such as: Drone attacks and USAID to Pakistan; US policy towards Afghanistan and US policy towards India. The study maintains that both Dawn & The News were critical to US policy towards Pakistan regarding Drone Attacks but the tone of The News was intense in nature. Moreover, the Dawn supported US policy to provide USAID to Pakistan, while The News was critical to it. On US policy towards India, The News supported the US policy to maintain friendly relations with India despite of Kashmir issue. On US policy towards Afghanistan, The News framed a negative picture of US while Dawn adopted a balance stance. The pattern of coverage supports the argument that the press and foreign policy relationship is issue-specific and it also has linked with media organization's policy. This study also asserts that on foreign policy issues press framing is not necessarily influenced by country's defined foreign policy objectives.Key Words: Drone attacks, Framing, Media, USAID to Pakistan.US policy towards South Asia, War on TerrorIntroductionThe media farming of foreign policy issues always have great importance for political scientists and communication scholars because media has power to shape public opinion in the favor of or opposition to government policy line.

(1992:60) labeled as conceptual tools' used to convey, interpret, and evaluate information. Norris (1995) argues news as cognitive schemata, and journalists usually work with news to simplify, prioritize and structure the narrative flow of events. Therefore, media has power to shape the mind set of people and lias ability to frame the issue/event in the perspective of newspaper organization. The basic objective of this study is to investigate how US foreign policy towards Pakistan, Afghanistan and India was framed in the editorials of the leading English newspapers of Pakistan; the Dawn and The News. This study also explores how the Dawn and The News converged or diverged in their editorial framing of US policy and to what extent coverage trends reflects newspaper organization policy/ideology. Moreover, this study examines the issue-specific nature of foreign policy coverage of Pakistani press.The period of study has significant importance with reference to US policy towards South Asian region because of the following reasons. (1) Assassination of Osama bin Laden in a US military operation on 2nd May 201 teamed out in Pakistan that created strong anti-American sentiments among the people of Pakistan who considered this military operation as a breach of their country's sovereignty.
