ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the framework that Chinese Newspapers use to cover the issue of fine dust. The news coverage on fine dust by People’s Daily and Guangming Daily was examined based on the article type, frame type and content frame. The findings are as follows. First, there were differences in the formal frame between the two newspapers and by the type of articles. Both People’s Daily and Guangming Daily used thematic frames and commentaries to cover the issue, but their frequencies are considerably different. People’s Daily included the thematic frame without any article directly handling the issue, while Guangming Daily addressed the theme frame using various types of articles. Secondly, there were differences in the content frame between the two newspapers and by the type of report. People’s Daily mainly used ‘attribution of responsibility frame’ and ‘personal response frame’ but Guangming Daily utilized ‘hope frame’ and ‘rumor dispute frame’. Significantly, this study reveals some frames used in the news coverage about an environment issue in China, which is still considered as a socialist country.
