Palwama's ashes, a haunting sight,
Amidst the withdrawal of US might,
Keen eyes in Pakistan, they do scan
In newspapers, Dawn and Tribune,
Sources of truth, they are deemed,
Truthful coverage, so it would seem,
All frames, political, economic, social,
Narrated by the scribes, with a pen of precision, in Pakistan's den.

This is an elaborated research paper of the author, S M Nazmuz Sakib.
It is about print media and Pakistan.
This study examines the coverage of two major events, the Palwama attack and the US withdrawal, in two Pakistani newspapers, Dawn and Tribune, over two different time periods. The study analyzed 482 articles, with 192 about the Palwama attack and 290 about the US withdrawal, using content analysis on SPSS. The study found that both newspapers provided comprehensive coverage of the events, including national, international, political, economic, and social frames. It was also observed that the newspapers gave more coverage to official sources such as ISPR and GoP, and that 75% of the content was thematic and 25% was episodic. Additionally, the study found that the Tribune focused more on the Palwama attack and national frames, while Dawn focused more on the US withdrawal and international frames, and that Dawn had more thematic framing and more genuine sources, while Tribune had more episodic framing and its news desk.
