Abstract
This study examines how the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. influenced the news values of journalism in Pakistan. I used the agenda-setting theory of Mass Communications to determine how journalists treated 9/11 in their routine coverage of political or terrorism-related stories. This theory also helps to find out whether terrorist attacks impacted the news values of Pakistani journalists. I interviewed 12 experienced Pakistani journalists to explore the relationship between 9/11 attacks on the U.S. and the changing trends of journalism in Pakistan. This study will help mass media researchers to understand how significant events in history impact the values of journalism. Little work has been done to measure the direct impact of terrorist attacks on Pakistani media. The current study bridges this gap in mass media research so that future researchers can expand their research questions to understand media on the other side of the world.
