Reporting Pattern

To study the international news reporting patterns of the Chinese media, this research provides a longitudinal analysis of the news coverage of Sino-Japan summit meetings from 1972 to 2019 in the People’s Daily. Based on the framing theory, the results of the analysis show that different aspects of the summit are selected to be covered in the news depending on the Chinese government’s policy towards Japan in different time periods. However, the news coverage itself has maintained a high degree of consistency. Before the period of reform and the opening up of China, there was no mention of the summit meetings’ content; reports only introduced the date, location and attendees. After the reform, information reported about the summit meetings increased and the coverage began including quotations from both the Chinese and Japanese heads of state; at the same time, reports adopted a ‘propagandized’ text editing mode by quoting more from Chinese leaders than Japanese leaders. Furthermore, the People’s Daily framed the Chinese government’s attempts to stabilize and develop Sino-Japanese relations over time.

Inequities in China are reflected within state-run media coverage due to its specific role “guiding public opinion,” and with our study we contribute to the geographic turn in the Chinese context with regard to media and journalism. As a subject of a spatial study, China is unique due to several factors: geographic diversity, authoritarian control, and centralized media. By analyzing text from 53,000 articles published in <em>People’s Daily</em> (rénmín rìbào, 人民日報) from January 2016 to August 2020, we examine how the amount of news coverage varies by region within China, how topics and sentiments manifest in different places, and how coverage varies with regard to foreign countries. Automated methods were used to detect place names from the articles and geoparse them to specific locations, combining spatial analysis, topic modeling and sentiment analysis to identify geographic biases in news coverage in an authoritarian context. We found remarkably uniform and positive coverage domestically, but substantial differences towards coverage of different foreign countries.

Examining 788 news articles in the People’s Daily from 2003 to 2013, this study explores basic trends in the representation of people with disabilities in an official newspaper in China. The study proposes that the portrayal of people with disabilities has increased because the living standards of people with disabilities in China have improved substantially and several significant events affecting people with disabilities took place during the decade under consideration. However, the results of content analysis did not support the general assumption of this study and show that the quantity of news coverage and the usages of the top three dominant news models and the top three major news sources did not increase significantly from year to year. The quantity of news articles and the usages of the top three dominant news models and the top three major news sources in 2009–2013 did not increase significantly compared with 2003–2007. The implications of the findings are discussed.

BACKGROUND Since the 2009 medical reform in China, the doctor-patient relationship seems to be an increasingly serious issue. And with the new media era, Weibo is one of the most important platforms for building the doctor image. However, no studies have focused on how China official media Weibo reports on doctor-patient issues. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to study the presentation of doctor image on People's Daily Weibo and how it affects the direction of the doctor-patient relationship. METHODS This study used a content analysis method and collected data from 01 January 2016 to 31 December 2018 on People's Daily Weibo. Through the characteristics, these postings were categorized into four-doctor images. RESULTS A total of 216 postings about the doctor image were collected on People's Daily Weibo. It was reported 122 postings on positive doctor image, up to 56%, while the number of negative doctor image postings is 15, accounting for only 7%. 44 postings about victim doctor image, accounting for 21%. There are about 25 medical disturbances. People’s Daily Weibo has reported 35 postings that have a neutral image of doctors, accounting for 16%. CONCLUSIONS People’s Daily Weibo has shaped four-doctor media images in the past three years. Moreover, it has mostly reported postings with a rigorous attitude, but some also exaggerate the facts leading to unreal. People’s Daily, the official Chinese media, actively embraces new media by using Weibo to shape doctor media images to influence the harmony of doctor-patient relationships.

This article examines neologisms that emerged in the Chinese language during the coronavirus pandemic. Any changes taking place in society are primarily reflected in social and political media, therefore, news publications in influential Chinese media (People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, Guangming Daily) were selected as the research material because these sources enjoy the confidence among people. The aim of the research is to determine the building patterns and usage of neologisms that appeared during the period of 6–8 months since the pandemic outbreak. About 500 articles discussing coronavirus were analyzed in the course of the work, as a result, more than 30 neologisms were identified. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of 10 most frequent neologisms found in 289 contexts. It was discovered that compounding was the most frequent neologism-building pattern (60%), additional connotation acquisition turned out twice less frequent (30%), and the rarest pattern was homophony (10%).

Employing content analysis, this study compares the coverage of the Arab uprisings by the <em>People’s Daily</em> (the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China) and <em>Caixin Net</em> (a typical commercial media) with statements from the Chinese Foreign Ministry in the last decade. It shows that the overall attention given to Arab uprisings in the <em>People’s Daily</em> and <em>Caixin Net</em> declined during the period, but there were shifts in the framing of the conflicts, presentation of issues, and positions. The article demonstrates and analyses how the approach and outline of the conflicts in the <em>People’s Daily</em> changed from disaster to criticism, and then to comparison—its position towards the events generally negative—and how <em>Caixin Net</em> moved from a disaster to a contextual framing of the events, its position tending to be neutral.

As a means of communication, city branding can influence public opinion and change the general public’s perceived image of a city. In China, news producers may not regard their activities as city branding. Since they have to follow the view and plan of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in terms of reporting on certain aspects of cities, news media, especially official media, is perform a Chinese way of city branding. This article presents a critical discourse analysis of how the People’s Daily, as the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), portrays Shenzhen, as the tone and depictions used in this newspaper when describing this city are arguably part of a Chinese approach to city branding through journalism. Through an analysis of 40 years of news coverage regarding Shenzhen in the People’s Daily, this study draws conclusions regarding the features of city branding through journalism in China and how this approach represents a new form of city branding.

Based on a qualitative content analysis of 15 years of media coverage of Japan in the most comprehensive and influential official media, the Chinese People's Daily newspaper, this article argues that the framing of Japan by the People's Daily was produced and rearticulated by the combinations of, and changes in, different geostrategic discourses, referred to in this article as the discourses of ‘geopolitical fears’ and ‘geoeconomic hopes’. These discourses in the framing of Japan by the People's Daily are further rearticulated and reinterpreted in terms of plural constructions of time (progress, decline and cycle). Drawing on a spatio-temporal analytical framework, the article presents a counterargument to the prevailing view that assumes that the framing strategies of China towards Japan are focused on issues of conflict, threat and fear. Rather, the results showed that it was through the alignment and balance of the discourses of geopolitical fears and geoeconomic hopes in a heterogeneous construction of time(s) that the image(s) of Japan emerged in Chinese media.
