| The dangers of global warming have already posed a serious threat to the survival of human beings,and require the international community to work together to cope with it.The Paris Climate Conference in 2015 reached a consensus on the Paris Agreement and the pattern of global governance has taken a step forward.However,on the eve of the 2017 Bonn Climate Conference,the US President Trump suddenly announced his withdrawal from the Paris Agreement,making the global governance landscape that has already taken shape changed.How will international cooperation in response to climate change begin in the future? Whether or not countries can implement the implementation details of the Paris Agreement will make the Bonn Climate Conference becomes the focus of attention of the international community and the media once again.In this context,the study selected four major domestic and foreign media newspapers,People's Daily,China Daily,The New York Times,and The Guardian,both during the Bonn Climate Conference in 2017 and one month before and after this conference,that is from October 6th to December 18 th,2017,a total of 258 news reports on climate change were collected.Content analysis and text analysis were conducted to study the framework construction of media reports in China,the United States,and the United Kingdom.By comparing them to find facts,differences,and deficiencies.The main content of the research is distributed in the third,fourth and fifth chapters.The third chapter mainly analyzes the content of the four news media's reports on climate change during the climate conference in Bonn,starting with the source,content and form of the report,to reveal the presentation status of Chinese and foreign media reports from a macro perspective.The study used information sources quoted in news reports as an important indicator of the inspection framework and confirmed the hypothesis that climate change reports favor official sources.At the same time,the content of the report was quantified according to the aforesaid coding table,in order to explore the thematic performance and basic tonality of national media on climate change issues.In addition,the chapter also discusses the forms of reporting by mainstream media from three aspects: layout,genre,and maps.Chapter 5 extracts news reporting frameworks to clarify how the various countries' mediums construct climate change issues,how these issues were presented by the media,and further demonstrated that climate change issues are marginalized in the macro context.The specific findings are as follows:(1)The four mainstream newspaper media have shown a high degree of consistency in certain aspects of the construction of climate issues,the frequency of use of problem-defining frameworks is low,indicating that complete climate skepticism hardly exists in the mainstream of China,US and UK.In the media coverage;(2)The focus of national media news coverage on the same topic is also different.Among them,the domestic media tends to choose a countermeasures and suggestions framework and an action framework to incorporate climate change into the top-level design of national strategies and report more on China ' s actions,policies and regulations and related achievements in combating climate change.The "New York Times" used the conflict framework to reflect the interests of the different parties in the game and disputes,and in response to the proposed framework for the United States to address the embarrassing climate change in the President's Trump's wrong policy has been strongly criticized.The construction of the Guardian news text involves several major frameworks,including countermeasures,climate justice and economic-social consequences frameworks,which reflect its multiple construction of news texts and care for the nature of climate change.(3)It was found that part of the framework was absent from climate change issues,including the framework of “scientific-factual”,“causal explanation” and“judgment of gains and losses”.Afterwards,the study quoted Taiwan scholar Zang Guoren's three-level framework construction theory to start from the microscopic level and specifically understand how the media constructed the Bonn climate conference as a major international negotiation event.Chapter 5 summarizes and summarizes some of the inadequacies of the media in constructing climate change reports: On the one hand,the political context has led to the defocus of climate change issues;on the other hand,the media construction of the "virtual environment" Caused the deconstruction of the real environment.It can be seen that most mainstream media lack focus on the nature of the environment,including climate change,and make the audience think that this matter has nothing to do with itself or rely on national or government-level enforcement actions,and the social mobilization effectiveness of relevant reports is obviously weak.Themainstream newspaper media represented by the Guardian has some implications for domestic paper media climate change reports.China's mainstream media should return to the nature of the agenda,and in addition to displaying the positive results of China's response to climate change in recent years in terms of agenda setting and framework selection.In addition,we should base ourselves on more diverse perspectives to explain climate change issues,give full play to the media's monitoring and early warning functions,and face negative facts to avoid single narrative modes and simple chain of causality.At the same time,we should use more humane expressions and truly integrate climate change concerns into the daily lives of the audience. |
