A Comparative Study Of News Reports On�the Belt And Road�

�The Belt and Road� is a global initiative put forward by China.The initiative has received a positive response globally and attracts considerable attention from both the foreign and domestic media since its launch.This dissertation takes the news reports on �Belt and Road� of the Wall Street Journal,the Times of Central Asia and China Daily as the research object,with the aim to discuss and analyze how the media of different countries report and disseminate �Belt and Road�.Through comparative study,the author hopes to find out the similarities and differences between domestic and foreign media reports on related issues of �Belt and Road�,so as to provide domestic media with advice on how to enhance the external communication of �Belt and Road�.This thesis is divided into four chapters.The first chapter introduces the background of � Belt and Road Initiative� and the relevant reports of Wall Street Journal,the Central Asia Times and China Daily.The second chapter analyzes the cognition of the three newspapers on � Belt and Road � from three aspects of definition,motivation and feasibility.The third chapter makes a comparative study of the reports on �Silk Road Fund� and � Belt and Road � Forum on International Cooperation.The fourth chapter compares and analyzes the similarities and differences of on �Belt and Road� in the newspapers at home and abroad from the perspective of news title,subject and source of the report,and summarizes the advice on domestic media how to learn from foreign media in the agenda setting,discourse choice and other aspects to spread the voice of �Belt and Road�.The study found that there is a hypothetical interpretation on "Belt and Road Initiative" in foreign media,and there is a certain gap about the national image of China in the eyes of foreign media and Chinese media.Foreign media mostly report "Belt and Road Initiative" from a macro point of view,being lack of detailed reports on the implementation process of specific projects in "Belt and Road" participating countries.In order to spread the voice of "Belt and Road" to all over the world,Chinese media should actively construct international discourse system on the "Belt and Road ",especially healthy discourse on the "Belt and Road",and convey the good voice of motivation,purpose and principle about initiative to the world.Then,domestic media should emphasize on the international communication of cultural content on "Belt and Road",innovate the mode of international communication and build a multilingual communication platform to improve the international awareness of "Belt and Road".
