Issues of Pakistan in Indian Newspapers: An appraisal
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The press presents centrality to public life because it provides a forum for debating issues of national importance. It is found that the coverage of foreign news in the Indian Press has declined in absolute terms in recent times, but in case of covering Pakistan the story is somewhat different. It is not merely a sophistry that the Indian media is apt to display an astonishing interest in matters pertaining to Pakistan as compared to any other South Asian countries. The present study is a content analysis of foreign news with special reference to Pakistan, by two major English leading dailies in India, The Times of India and The Hindu. The news stories were recorded and collated under the various module headings: Politics, religion/ religious, culture and history, arts and entertainment,
