Abstract
This paper aims to analyze and compare the print media coverage of 18th
Constitutional Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan in five selected newspapers
from 5th April 2010 to 12th April 2010. The main purpose is to determine the tone and
proportion of coverage provided to this Amendment in all four provinces and capital
city of Pakistan. This study is based on content analysis of 257 news articles to study
the contents of the news items of the selected newspapers. It is argued that the
amendment was unanimously passed on 8th April 2010 in National Assembly with full
support of all political parties. However, this paper observes that the media coverage
differs in each province with some provinces giving its coverage more significance
than the other provinces. However, the analysis of the editorials and opinion pages
of all the newspapers reflects the concern with regards to the ways through which
this amendment can improve the lives of the general masses.
