This study investigates the reporting of insurgencies in the five South Asian countries including Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. One elite newspaper from each of these countries was selected for a period of five years—January 2013 to December 2017. The researcher applied content analysis technique by operationalizing war and peace journalism indicators as expounded by Johan Galtung and others. The researchers found that the five national insurgencies are predominantly reported in the war journalism approach. The selected press adopted nationalistic and elitist perspectives and ignored options that could promote peace and reconciliation. The findings of this study are quite in line with the existing scholarship that media remain jingoistic and support their governments when deviant groups challenge the security apparatus
