Abstract
Western scholarship on media coverage of foreign policy issues illustrates that media follow the government line when there is policy certainty or elite consensus on issue, on other hand, media present a critical view on foreign policy related issue(s) when there is policy uncertainty or exist differences in circle of (political) elite (Bennett, 1990; Robinson, 2000). This study contently analyzes the media coverage of the foreign policy issue at the time of violent conflict in Indian held Kashmir in two major news websites Dawn.com and Indian Express.com, owned by the leading media groups of Pakistan and India. Consistent with the existing literature on media and foreign policy, this study not only evaluates the nature of media coverage on the basis of policy certainty but also explains the significant relationship between violent conflict and media approach in the two south Asian neighboring countries, Pakistan and India.
