Abstract
The article identifies and describes the coverage pattern of first
100 days of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) government
performance in the light of agenda setting and framing theories
in two leading English dailies of Pakistan: The Nation and The
Express Tribune. The front pages of the newspapers were
selected for the duration of 100 days to measure the slant, frame,
frequency and placement of news stories related to the
performance of newly established Pakistan Tehreek Insaf
government in the areas of economic affairs and foreign policy.
The results indicate that the two leading English dailies cover
the activities of the Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI) differently. The
Nation published 18 news stories related to economic affairs and
foreign policy of the government while The Express Tribune
published 24 news stories related to economic affairs and foreign
policy of the newly established government on their front pages
duration the 100 days study period. The language and theme of
most of the articles published by The Nation were favorable
towards Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI). The language and theme
of the articles of The Express Tribune were more neutral and
critical towards the performance of Pakistan Tehreek Insaf (PTI)
government in the areas of economic affairs and foreign policy
