The coverage in US media about Pakistan after 9/11 attacks is quiet in line with the arguments of several authors (Said 1997; Kux, 2001; Obad 2003) that the U.S. media tend to portray positively those countries that are close to the interests of the United States even when they represent non- democratic regimes. Within the context of the changed relationship between the United States and Pakistan after the 9/11 attacks, wherein Pakistan became an ally of the United States in its War against Terror, this study has particularly highlighted how the US media portrayed Pakistan in the pre and post 9/11 scenario.
