| contents | <p>Kashmir witnessed the longest and strongest rebellion after the killing of Burhan Wani, militant leader of Hizbul Mujahideen, on 8th July 2016. The number of people at his funeral procession sent a direct message to the authorities that not everything was right in Kashmir. Longest curfew, suspension of internet services and banning of local press hinted strongly at media gagging by the government. During the period, curfew passes issued to the local journalists were not honoured by the security forces hence, curtailing their movement. While Kashmir based local media was extensively reporting about use of pellet guns by the security forces to control the protesting people, the New Delhi based national media was focusing more on attacks on security forces by the protestors. New Delhi based Indian national media emphasised on the government’s security centric line which asserted that Kashmir is an integral part of India and all efforts were made to prevent Pakistan sponsored terrorism in Kashmir. Indian National media seldom reported human rights violations in Kashmir while local Kashmir based media and international media were vocal about such issues. The focus of this study was to find out whether New Delhi based newspaper reported what happened on the ground in Kashmir and also to analyse how the reporting of New Delhi based media was different from reporting of Kashmir based local media.</p> |
