Regarding that, two research questions were frame; 1) How much coverage was given to Pak-US relationship with reference to Drone Strikes by Pakistani press (The Dawn and The Nation)?; 2)What kind of stance (positive, negative, neutral) Pakistani press (The Dawn and the Nation) show towards Pak-US relationship with reference to Drone Strikes?. For this purpose, total 22 editorials, 5 from Dawn and 17 from Nation, published between January 2013 and June 2013 covering Pakistan-USA relation in the context of drone strikes, were thoroughly reviewed. Having statistically analyzed the information, it is deduced that there is a significant difference in the amount of coverage given by Dawn and Nation with reference to Pakistan-USA relation and drone strikes. Furthermore, Nation has shown more negative but less neutral or mixed stance towards Pakistan-USA relationship with reference to drone strikes in Waziristan than Dawn. However, both Dawn and Nation have not portrayed Pakistan-USA relationship as positive with reference to drone strikes
