This research aims to analyse the Normative Approach of Electronic and Print Media towards Social Constructionism with special focus to news reporting in Disaster Management for the establishment of safer communities in Pakistan. The researchers employed Qualitative Methodology for textual analysis of news reporting by electronic and print media of a manmade disaster of Sundar Industrial Estate 4-storey Factory Collapse, Lahore – Pakistan in November 2015, leaving 45 people dead and 103 injured were extricated alive by disaster response authorities. The texts of news and feature stories aired/ published in leading five newspapers and five electronic media channels were analysed for this study. The findings of the research showed that the media was confined by law enforcement agencies at the designated place, a few yards away from the incident spot and was provided controlled information about the disaster by designated spokespeople of different government departments. Owing to which, majority of the media men aired and published news stories and features which led to creating a sense of safety among the aggrieved families whereas media also proved a helping hand of all disaster response authorities including Pakistan Army, Punjab Emergency Service, a response force of Provincial Disaster Management Authority & other related departments in the specific incident of disaster management. The results further showed that the media with normative approach was the most appropriate tool of information dissemination in developing countries during disasters. This research may open new horizons on the topic under discussion for future researchers.
