Abstract
As the first native Chinese scientist to win a Nobel Prize in science, Tu Youyou, who is a researcher of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, is an iconic figure in the Chinese scientific community. Tu's story in Chinese and Western media reports has aroused heated discussion, creating a great opportunity for China to increase its voice in international communications. Through content analysis of relevant reports in Chinese and Western media, we found that, when reporting on the personal character of scientists, Western media politicize scientific and technological events. On the other hand, Chinese media tend to focus on the scientific research and stress a communal spirit among researchers, but the reports have the problem of similar contents and style. Based on this analysis, we proposed several suggestions on how to best tell China's story through reporting on scientists.
