description In this modern era of rapid communication, media works wonder and plays role in analyzing people. Things are seen and evaluated by the perception of media. This study aims to analyze the Pakistani News Channels GEO, ARY and BOL Headlines through Critical Discourse Analysis. News headlines have great importance because they represent the issues and facts tersely. These also present the importance of every major and minor issue in the society by highlighting them in a sophisticated and presentable manner. This research critically analyses the news headlines taken from three Pakistani news channels. The chief concern of this research is to discover the role of news headlines in highlighting the society, to find out the figurative devices, and to evaluate how these channels report and transmit the same issue in a different way according to the need of their respective interest.
