Abstract
This study analyzes to what extent British press followed its
foreign policy guidelines in the coverage of War on Terror. For
this purpose two British dailies, The Guardian and The
Independent were selected. The editorials of these newspapers
were analysed by employing the technique of thematic analysis.
It was noted that British government supported the War on
Terror, Afghanistan war 2001 and Iraq war 2003. Even British
army participated in these wars. However, study found that the
British press was not much supported to the War on terror. In the
case of Afghanistan war 2001, at certain points the British press
supported government policy and supported its army in the field
but in the case of Iraq war 2003 both newspapers criticised
British policy on war. It was stressed that the British government
should withdraw its support from Iraq war 2003. Overall, British
press did not strongly support British foreign policy guidelines in
the coverage of the War on Terror
