Abstract
With the development of news media, disaster reports have become more and more popular, and the guidance of public opinion in such reports has gradually become a new issue. This paper takes the Wenchuan earthquake as the theme, mostly based on the reports on China Youth Daily in 2008 to see their content and dissemination effects. Through textual analysis, this paper looks into the languages, forms, pictures, and structures of these news reports. The results show that the news media play an important role in guiding public opinion on natural disasters. They can relax audiences, provide useful self-help information, and publish governmental guidelines. Online reporting and politics are inextricably linked, and the ways of communication are more diverse.
