This study investigates the role of news media on reporting the sectarian conflict in Pakistan.The available scholarship suggests that media is a double-edge sword which can become animportant tool to promote religious harmony and ease tension between the warring groups andat the same time it can escalate tension by exaggerating events and becoming mouthpiece ofwar-mongers. The researcher borrows key notions from peace journalism scholarship andapplies it at a national setting. The quantitative and qualitative analyses reveal that the newsmedia showed responsibility, exercised restraint and prioritized popular perspective whilereporting on sectarian tension in the country. The study supports the key assertion in peacejournalism that conflict escalation can be averted if journalists are sensitized about theconsequences of irresponsible reporting especially in nascent democracies like Pakistan.
