Abstract
Air pollution has become a serious problem of the Chinese government in recent years. In 2013, the pollution level hit a historic high record. As the official website of China Daily, the largest English newspaper in China, how ChinaDaily.com frames this issue to global readers is of great significance. This thesis content analyzes all air pollution related news stories published in 2013 by ChinaDaily.com from text elements and visual images aspects. The results show that the consequence and responsibility frame are the two main frames ChinaDaily.com uses in its coverage of the air pollution. Compared with these, contradiction and human-interest frames are used much less.
