Framing is one of the most misunderstood concepts in political communication studies. It roots from epistemological problems, framing appropriately as a ”method” to framing’s concept itself. Framing is the process of construction and negotiation of public policy issues influenced by discourse contestation, where one view on a particular issue will be offered, negotiated, and then accepted or rejected as a dominant discourse that becomes the background of a policy. This study employed comparative framing to investigate the dimension of media framing as a media strategy. We examined how media strategies are applied to frame the same issue. This research concluded that at the level of event-driven news, the media has a similar frame strategy. Furthermore, contrast frames occur in micro-issues due to the influence of media characteristics, historical-ideological factors, and media organizational structures. Keywords: framing, governance, political communication, policy

This study aims to analyze Pakistani English dailies' treatment of Afghan immigrants by applying the peace journalism model. Pakistan has hosted millions of Afghan immigrants for more than four decades. Media plays a vibrant part in crafting identities and efficiently diffuses them in society. The researcher keenly monitored the treatment of Afghan refugees in mainstream Pakistani English dailies; Dawn, The News, The Nation, and Daily Times, from August 2021 to August 2022. The unit of analysis was a news story published on any page of a newspaper, a feature, a column, and an opinion piece. A purposive sampling technique was applied to collect the relevant data about Afghan refugees, problems faced by them, and administrative as well as societal pressures at them. Outcomes through content analysis technique and framing theory indicated that a conflict frame succeeded in the majority of all daily writings analyzed. Voice and presence of Afghan refugees seems marginalized.
