This study analyses anti-Americanism in the mainstream press of Pakistan before and
after the Operation Neptune Spear (ONS) also called Abbottabad Operation conducted
by US forces in Abbottabad (Pakistan) in which Osama bin Laden (OBL) was killed. The
researcher analysed coverage of drone attacks and Abbottabad Operation in op-ed pages
of four leading national newspapers i.e., Dawn, The News, Nawa-i-Waqt, and Express.
Total time of the study was four months, two months before the Operation (01 March
2011 to 30 April 2011) and two months after the Operation (01 May 2011 to 30 June
2011). The ONS was taken as an independent variable for exploring anti-Americanism in
the mainstream Pakistani media (print media) while “drone attacks” was taken as a
control variable. Anti-Americanism in op-ed pages of the selected newspapers was
compared to determine the effect of ONS on anti-Americanism in the mainstream Urdu
and English press of Pakistan. The results revealed that US image in the Pakistani press
remained negative throughout the study period and the ONS had no significant effect on
the image of USA in Pakistani leading press.
