ABSTRACT:
Undoubtedly media is one of the most important pillars of any thriving country. A number of significant events have brought the Arab World into limelight during the last 15 years, ranging from the attack on Afghanistan in 2001 to Iraq War and the recent Arab Spring. For stories emanating from the Arab nations, western news agencies still remain the prime source of information for Urdu TV channels and newspapers.
