Abstract
This paper analyzes the print media coverage of Kashmir dispute, which is one of the most simmering issues between Pakistan and India. The research is based on the notion that media has potential to influence conflict prevention and its resolution. Kashmir issue intermittently appears in international media and rarely in research journals, thus, providing a room for further research. This study is confined to the content analysis of selected newspapers from Pakistan (Dawn), India (The Times of India) and the United States (The New York Times). Focus was to analyze the news, editorials/editorial notes and letters to editors pertaining to Kashmir conflict. The key findings confirmed that coverage of the issue is negatively framed and invariably centered on violence, violent events and failed to highlight peaceful alternatives, which anticipated further violence. It concludes that print media of the mentioned countries, regardless of its capacity, did not perform any pivotal role for peaceful resolution of Kashmir conflict.
