Abstract
The study has been designed to investigate the coverage of Afghan migrants in leading Newspapers of Pakistan. Afghan refugees are residing in Pakistan from the past 3 decades. The study focused on the news coverage of recent Afghan refugee migration from Pakistan following the government of Pakistan decision to send off undocumented migrants to Afghanistan. For Newspapers, daily Dawn, Daily Jang and Nawaiwaqt were selected. The studies use framing as a theoretical framework to analyze the treatment given to Afghan refugees in the selected press. The finding of the study indicates that the Nawaiwaqt gave more favorable coverage to Afghan refugees followed by Dawn and least was given by Daily Jang. While unfavorable treatment was highest in the coverage of Jang newspaper.
