Balochistan, geographically one of the largest province of Pakistan,
with rich resources of petroleum, gold natural gas reserves and
other minerals, has faced unrest from Baloch separatist movement
since the inception of Pakistan. Present study analyses news
patterns of two leading newspapers, Dawn and Jang, in peace and
violence frames during in the military regime of General Pervez
Musharraf from 1999 till 2008. It tries to explore how the print
media framed the issue during the selected time period when the
Chief Executive of the country enjoyed complete political and
military powers. It employs quantitative research method, based on
Johan Galtung's theory on Peace Journalism (PJ). The findings of the
study show that Balochistan conflict is mostly framed in violence
frames than peace frames.
