This book explores how news media construct social issues and
events and thereby convey certain perceptions within the scope of
framing theory. By operationalizing media framing as a process of
interpretation through defining problem, diagnosing causes, making
moral judgments and suggesting solutions, the book proposes a
systematic and transparent approach to images in news discourse.
Based on a frame analysis, it examines how German news media framed
a list of China-related issues and events, and thereby conveyed
particular beliefs and opinions on this country. Moreover, it
investigates whether there were dominant patterns of interpretation
and the extent to which diverse views were evident by comparing two
major daily newspapers with opposite political orientations - the
FAZ and the taz. Motivated by the relationship between image and
reality, the book explores image formation and persistence from
media construction of meaning and human cognitive complexity in
perceiving others. Media select certain issues and events and then
interpret them from particular perspectives. A variety of
professional and non-professional factors behind news making may
result in biased representations. In addition, from a social
psychological perspective, inaccurate perceptions of foreign
cultures may arise from categorical thinking, biased processing of
stimulus information, intergroup conflicts of interest and in-group
favoritism. Accordingly, whether media coverage deviates from
reality is not the main concern of this book; instead, it
emphasizes the underlying logics upon which the conclusions and
judgments were drawn. It therefore contributes to a rational
understanding of Western discourse and holds practical implications
for both Chinese public diplomacy and a more constructive role of
news media in promoting the understanding of others.
