Abstract

Disasters are so closely linked to human life that there is no guarantee of avoiding them, regardless of the country in which they occur. After the 21st century, disaster reports have come into the limelight more frequently. When society is facing a crisis and human survival is challenged, the media has to play the function of meeting the information needs of the audience and play the role of correctly guiding social opinion. This paper attempts to analyse the similarities and differences between Chinese and American mainstream media in the expression of disaster reporting, using a combination of qualitative case text comparative interpretation and quantitative data analysis as the main research method, starting from specific cases, and trying to identify and analyse the reasons behind, in order to provide some feasible suggestions for Chinese media’s international disaster reporting.
