Abstract With the popularity of culture comparison, the contrastive study of news coverage of China and America has aroused great concern. Disaster news is always unexpected, remarkable, important and complex. A conclusion can be drawn from the contrastive study of reports on Wen Chuan Earthquake of People’s Daily and New York Times: due to different cultures, different viewpoints on relations between nature and human and different values and orientations, differences of two countries’ disaster news reports mainly lie in four aspects: news views; contents, news themes and report angles. 61657
This paper investigates the influences of different cultures on disaster news reports, and it aims to explore a more positive and suitable way for Chinese news media in disaster news reports: to show the humanistic care; to value the report on other disaster areas; to avoid blindly “positive” and to avoid excessively “bloody”.
Key words: disaster news reports; People’s Daily; New York Times
摘要随着文化比较的流行, 对中美新闻报道的对比研究受到越来越多的关注。灾难性新闻具有突发性、显著性、重要性和复杂性等特点。本文通过对《人民日报》和《纽约时报》关于汶川地震报道的对比研究发现，由于文化差异、人与自然关系的差异和价值取向的差异，两者在新闻观点，内容，主题和报道角度这四个方面存在不同。
通过探讨不同文化对灾难性新闻报道的影响，本文旨在探究一种更积极、更适合我国新闻媒介的灾难性新闻报道的方式：注重人文关怀；重视其他灾区的报道；避免一“正面化”；抵制过分“血腥化”。
