India and Pakistan are two emerging economies and nuclear powers of South
Asia. Both countries are often considered as hostile neighbors and the world
media often ascribe high importance over the bilateral issues of Pakistan and
India due to nuclear capabilities and significance of the region. This study aims to
explore and comparatively analyze the representation of both countries in
international press. It examines the issue priming and attributes of both nations
through content analysis of three newspapers i.e. New York Times of USA, China
daily of China and The Guardian from Britain. News stories were selected
purposively from the period from 2013 to 2016. Findings reveal that three
newspapers represented India and Pakistan differently. American and British
newspapers primed the Indian issues of Democracy, Economy, Sports and
scientific development. On the other hand, these newspapers primed Pakistan
issues of nuclear assets, terrorism, health and human rights violations. However,
China Daily primed India and Pakistan differently. It focused on Indian issues of
human rights, security, environment and diplomatic relations. On the other side, it
primed the Pakistani issues of economy, trade, defense and efforts for terrorism.
Findings imply that representation and issue priming of a nation varies from
country to country depending upon different factors including foreign policy,
mutual relations and economic ties.
