British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) News reported that Muttahida Qaumi
Movement (MQM) a political party from Pakistan has been getting funding from
Indian's secret agency Research and Analytical Wing (RAW). It has received a
considerable media attention in Pakistan. The same has been down played by
the Indian national media. The behavior and approach adopted by the Indo-Pak
media on BBC's news seemingly reflect the journalistic nationalism. This paper
is an attempt to address the issue from the perspective presented on the Indian
funding of MQM by the BBC news with particular focus on its coverage,
credibility, perception and bias viz-a-viz journalistic nationalism in their
respective media. Results and statistical analysis revealed differences between
the trend followed by the respective national media and perceptions of this
coverage among the highly educated expats of Indo-Pak nationalities residing in
the Sultanate of Oman. The relationship has been significantly high in areas like
awareness of news report regarding funds provided to MQM by India (x
2=.000),
source of awareness of BBC news report (x
2=.000), credibility of BBC as a news
channel (x
2=.001) and the trend followed by the respective national media with
regard to the BBC news (x
2=.000).
