century, which also attracts journalists and researchers'attention. But researches that integrate key point & general work and quantitative & qualitative are quite few.According to the data statistics of reports on anti-terrorism in Global Times during the period from September 11th 2001 to December 31st 2009, it is founded that Global Times has attached great importance to anti-terrorism reports, not only in a large amount and high frequency, but also with large page occupancy, sometimes even a whole front page. Among the 9 years, the data statistics of the anti-terrorism reports are different. The annual amount, monthly & daily frequency of anti-terrorism report, as well as the amount and frequency of its front page appearance, are in a highest value in 2001. Though it seems that the amount of anti-terrorism report rises and falls somewhat, it declines until a basic value finally.Based on data statistic and relevant journalism & communication theory, it seems that the anti-terrorism report of Global Times shows various features. On the side of report theme, reports can be divided into three generalization devices such as taking non-terrorism event as terrorism, labeling terrorism on the events which have a little with terrorism and using terrorism topic. On the side of the report frame, reports highlight the terrorism process and anti-terrorism measure, lowlight its cause and social effect; highlight anti-terrorism power's justice, strong and unity, lowlight the strength and potential of the terrorists; considering the common people's acceptance, there is little bloody scene in the reports. On the side of reported figures, Global Times prefers labeling the terrorists as"Al Qaeda","East Turkistan"and"dirty bombs"to show their organized, inhuman and political purpose to the readers of their"terrorism face", On the side of report position, Global Times shows different report mode on the domestic and abroad terrorism event, but the level of the whole reports is improving in the aspects of report's length, amount, timeliness and transparency.According to the quantitative data analysis & qualitative configurative reading, it seems that the anti-terrorism reports have a character of large amount, rich content and high frequency and reports'content is true, objective and meticulous in the nine years of Global Times reports. Basically speaking, the report character is formed by the game of the terrorism event itself and Global Times'principle of"not only upholding the political orientation, but also complying with laws of the market".
