Abstract
This paper explores the potential for empirical analysis of corruption and countervailing action, based on data extracted from newspapers. Theoretical analysis suggests that when the press is free and competitive, it is likely to cover corruption and direct forms of countervailing action comprehensively. This theory is borne out by data collected from three Pakistani newspapers published during January and February 1994.
