The news in Pakistan is dead. What had been routine for journalists covering politics, government, and community life is no more. Overshadowed by coverage of violence, international conflict and terrorism since the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., there is no room in Pakistani news media or interest among Pakistani journalists for everyday news.

This work bridges a gap in mass media research on how significant events in history impact the values of journalism influence media in everyday life on the other side of the world.
