W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Joseph P. Bernt Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract JANNEPALLY, HARIWARDHAN REDDY., M.S., November 2010, Journalism. The 2008 Mumbai Attack and Press Nationalism: A Content Analysis of Coverage in the New York Times, Times of London, Dawn, and the Hindu (132 pp.) Director of Thesis: Joseph P. Bernt This study examines the New York Times, Times of London, Hindu, and Dawn coverage of the 2008 Mumbai attack. Since the U.S. and Britain had considerable interests in South Asia, the study used the framework of press nationalism to analyze the coverage. A content analysis of the coverage in the four newspapers suggests national interests were at work. The debate over the war and issues like religious unrest were different in the four newspapers. The Western press was unequivocal in condemning the war option; the coverage also reflected an agreement on issues like Kashmir and the War on Terror.
