- 4. Story 2

- 6. Story 3
- 7. Hillary’s visit helped remove misunderstandings: FO Content Characteristics: Misleading lead- Story does not mention any clarification of misunderstandings, rather the topic of the visit (drone attacks, national sovereignty) is mentioned Sources: Pakistan Foreign office spokesperson TehminaJanjua Audience Views/Public Opinion: Story says “relations with US have recently been bumpy,” evokes idea that relationship is strained
- 8. Summary The 3 news stories are fairly objective, relying on mainly US sources. This could be due to the fact that the stories are in English and reach either English-speaking natives or Western audiences. These news stories seem to reflect the result of the “Pakistani Public Opinion on Democracy” study by the Institute of Peace and WorldPublicOpinion.org where a majority of Pakistanis don’t believe the US can be trusted to act responsibly. The longer lasting affects of US/Pak talks will remain to be seen post Osama bin Laden.
