Media Performance and Conflict Management: A Case Study of Indo- Pak Relations after the Mumbai Attacks

Abstract

South Asia is a conflict zone where media have been very influential in generating mutually hostile perceptions. Many
analysts of Indo-Pakistan relations believe that jingoistic attitude of media in the sub-continent obstructs all peace
moves in the region. Media have been responsible to increase the level of tension between both countries and resultantly
incapacitate the governments’ abilities to take concrete steps towards peace.
