TITLE:NEWS DISCOURSE AND POLITICS AN ANALYSIS OF DAWN TELEVISION NEWS ON COVERAGE OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR

ABSTRACT: The paper is an attempt to develop a multidisciplinary approach to study news discourse qualitatively using Critical Discourse Analysis as a methodology. The paper extensively studies elements of discourse like access, setting, news frames, in order to understand dichotomy of media-politics cycle and how news media maintains power and dominance by working in close tandem with political elites there by acting as secondary sources of news. A prime time programme of Dawn news broadcasted on the eve of Kashmir solidarity day on 5^th February has been critically analysed television news media and its sub ordinate relation with powerful dominant sources of news further shifts the political wave towards a particular direction and media acting as a principal apparatus for such kind of shifts.
