The relations between the United States of America and Pakistan have a significant impact on the world’s politics as well as in shaping the future of the globe. However, the relations between the two countries have been passing through a lot of ups and downs during the last seven decades. Media have a pivotal role in framing and shaping this ‘love and hate’ relationship. The purpose of this study was to investigate the coverage of the United States-Pakistan relations by the American newspapers because the media coverage shapes the public opinion. Two major newspapers of the United States were content analyzed for a period of one year with the help of Lexis and Nexis and the coverage of Pakistan was measured and analyzed qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The results of the study revealed that the American newspapers portrayed a highly negative image of Pakistan and most of the coverage about the bilateral relations was found as negative.

美利坚合众国与巴基斯坦之间的关系对世界政治以及塑造全球未来都具有重大影响。但是，在过去的七十年中，两国之间的关系经历了许多风风雨雨。媒体在构建和塑造这种“爱与恨”关系中起着举足轻重的作用。这项研究的目的是调查美国报纸对美巴关系的报道，因为媒体的报道影响着舆论。在Lexis和Nexis的帮助下，对美国两家主要报纸的内容进行了为期一年的分析，并对巴基斯坦的报道进行了定性和定量分析。
