Abstract
The role of mainstream media in catering the national interests from the context of the project of CPEC hangs in the balance as the media has only given coverage to the positive aspects of the project while largely neglecting the ramifications of CPEC over the grievous communities of Balochistan and other provinces. Is the media really catering the national interest, if the grievances and the apprehensions of the public are not resolved and only the positive side of a project is given coverage while neglecting the ramifications that can leave deep imprints on the lives of the very citizens of Pakistan? It is truly the opposite of journalistic ethics. This article also focuses on the representation of the Baloch community by the mainstream media from the context of the CPEC project in the light of national interests. For this purpose, some tables were also used in which 150 respondents from Gawadar and Quetta participated and all of whom were post graduate students.
