The Media Image of the South China Sea Ruling: Analyzing the News Reports about the South China Sea Ruling Based on Seven Media from Five Areas

Looking back to 2016, the South China Sea Ruling was one of the most important and influential events around the world. People who live away from the area of South China Sea can only receive the relevant information from mass media. Thus, whether media did the reports with the objective attitude was very important. This research aims to analyze whether those reports, related to the South China Sea ruling, from People's Daily, Southern Metropolis Daily, China Times, Free Times, The New York Times, BBC and United Morning Post accorded with objective and impartial reporting principles. Using the way of content analysis, this paper takes such conclusions as follow: 1. All of the media had payed high attention to the South China Ruling. And United Morning Post had made the largest number of reports about this event. Meanwhile, the news reports' number of People's Daily was following United Morning Post. 2. People's Daily and The New York Times interned to publish the news comments, trying to use their own opinion to impact audiences' attitude towards the South China Sea Ruling. 3. People's Daily, Southern Metropolis Daily and China Times interned to cite the Chinese official and media news. While The New York Times, BBC and Free times were mainly referred to the western media news or interviewed non-Chinese people. Different from these media, United Morning Post basically achieved the balance of the distinctive news sources. 4. It was very significant that The New York Times, BBC and Free times took negative attitude towards China. While People's Daily, Southern Metropolis Daily, and China Times supported the Chinese government confirmedly. On the contrary, United Morning Post merely abided by the principle of objectivity and neutrality. It's view towards this event was also more constructive.
