This research study examines the nature of news items on aired on three TV channels of Pakistan, while covering the killing of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The three channels include private broadcasters Geo News and Dunya News, and public broadcaster Pakistan Television News (PTV News). The content of these TV channels has been studied for ten consecutive days, starting from May 2, 2011, when Osama bin Laden was killed in the U.S. operation. The findings, based on the Quantitative Content Analysis, show that both the public and private broadcasters of Pakistan relied heavily on the ‘table stories’ to report the event for its viewers – besides little field strategy for the media coverage of the issue from the field. The less ‘boots on the ground’ show that the Pakistani TV channels did not explore the event in investigative line, and thus relied heavily on the studio productions
