ABSTRACT
The news media, especially privately owned media, plays a large role in the perception of relations between the two South Asian neighbours, India and Pakistan. This brief chapter looks at the media’s portrayal of this relationship in light of the popular “propaganda model” as postulated by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky in their book Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. In particular, it also briefly analyzes the tripartite relationship between the news media, the government and large corporate organizations based on the model’s “five filters.”
