Abstract

This paper analyses contents of two scholarly articles focusing on the examination of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) coverage in newspapers from Pakistan and China. The study aims to elucidate the portrayal of CPEC in leading publications such as Dawn, China Daily, The News International, and other selected newspapers included in the content analysis. The research posits a hypothesis suggesting that print media from both nations tend to present a positive image of CPEC. However, this study endeavors to empirically substantiate this hypothesis through a meticulous content analysis. The comparative examination encompasses a thorough assessment of objectives, hypotheses, content, methodologies, references, statistical data, findings, summaries, and conclusions presented in the selected papers. The findings aim to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the framing and representation of CPEC in the media discourse of both countries
