Media Representation and Scientific Reality Comparison of Heavy Metal Pollution in Guangdong——A Content Analysis of Guangdong's Newspapers from 2000 to 2010

文章以广东省内主要媒体,《南方日报》《广州日报》《南方都市报》和《羊城晚报》2000年至2010年来对与重金属污染有关的新闻报道作为样本,分析媒体所强调的议题、报道频次等方面的变化。将媒体再现与广东省重金属污染的科学发现进行比较,研究发现广东省内媒体对于重金属污染的议题呈现与科学真实存在较大差异。

This study attempts to explore how Guangdong＇ s newspapers had constructed the image of heavy metal pollu- tion. Based on a content analysis of four newspapers, namely, ＂Southern Daily＂, ＂Guangzhou Daily＂, ＂Southern Metro- politan Newspaper＂ and ＂Yangcheng Evening News＂, this study mainly analyzed the news topics, news frequency, news sources, and news frames. By comparing the difference between media representation and expert assessments of risk, this paper finds a gap truly existing between media representation and scientific findings.
