Transgenic issue is both controversial scientific thesis and also an issue related to the social people's livelihood. ScienceNet which is the professional news website of natural science and technology, It is an important channel for the public to transfer genetic information and directly impact on their scientific perception of transgenic issues. The research on news framework of genetically modified coverage would optimize the controversial sci-tech communication and realize the function of science spread.News framework is the persistent paradigm in the media encoding process, which is the process from media reality to the "subjective" information. According the mechanism of website framework is divided into two parts:the selection of event information and construction of news materials, the research idea can be confirm as from framing to the frame. Some constitute features have been showed in the process of building news framework. The scientists and dominated authorities are the main sources, while the voice of public and some NGO organizations are not that important, which lead the information spread in a narrow range, the theme of report is multivariate, the subjects are reported in neutral tone and news genre, directly quotations are used frequently in the coverage.According conceptual system level frame, issue orientation level frame and text structural level frame, the ScienceNet has own news framework and can be conclude into three parts. In conceptual system, overall, website holds the neutral tone and prefers the "popular science frame" is the most important content in seven thematic frames in conceptual system. Transgenic news as an issue orientation level lays emphasis on face-base report, which pays much attention on timeliness of reporting. In text structure, as the lowest level frame, the use of rhetoric, image and data highlights the framework.The framework of GM reports in ScienceNet has experienced from the spread of scientific knowledge to realize the evolution of the scientific guide. It shows a series of characteristics as follows:cautious and diffusion of the theme frame; the media has invisible news frame which hold the surface-neutral attitude, but the positive tendency in reality. Risks and benefits framework coexist and media coverage of popular science has been repetitive.In order to improve the framework of GM report in ScienceNet, it can be promoted in three methods:emphasizing "popular science framework" and give priority in the construction of the framework; making the balance of the structure of the news framework; highlighting the objectivity of the reports from the sources selection, form of reports, the direction and angles of news.
