Abstract/Summary:
This study applies agenda setting and framing theories to compare the ways in which Chinese media, represented by news in native language on People's Daily online, and US media, represented by the New York Times, covering homeless issues. The content analysis of 50 news articles reveals that media in both countries have its own good things that are worthy of being learned from each other when reporting homelessness, but, at the same time, both have deficiencies that need to be improved in future homeless coverage.
