In this study, the researchers have investigated the escalatory
and de-escalatory potential of current affairs talk shows in the
leading TV channels in Pakistan. The data was analyzed through
content analysis by applying the war and peace journalism
model developed by Johan Galtung. We found the five leading
talk shows produced more escalatory content like pitting the
political parties against each other to create more drama,
decontextualize the political issues and proved to be politically
biased. Moreover, the issues of political nature were mainly of
escalatory nature as compared to the non-political issues. The
study concludes that to create a more democratic culture in the
country, the media should educate people in democratic
traditions like tolerance, political knowledge and including
popular perspectives on important national issues
