Researching
• Used the ProQuest Newspapers as a database
• Keywords used: Tohoku earthquake, tsunami, Tohoku
Japan, Tohoku nuclear power station
• Times range: 2011-03-11 ~ 2012-12-31
• New York Times and South China Morning Post
Comparison
• New York Times
– In scope of global
– Global economy
– Numbers and Statistics
• South China Morning Post
– In scope of Japan and Asia
– Japan’s economy
– Opinions and feelings
Examples – New York Times
• “Like everyone else, corporate executives, economists
and financial analysts in Tokyo, New York, London and
beyond struggled last week to wrap their heads around
the scale of this disaster” – Sommer, J. New York Times,
(2011, March 20, p. BU 1).
• “Exports jumped 6.2 percent as manufacturers got
production back on track. Private consumption, which
accounts for almost two-thirds of Japan's economy, grew
1 percent, helped by a rebound in consumer sentiment
and replacement demand in the tsunami zone” – Tabuchi,
H. New York Times, (2011, November 14, p. B3).
Examples – South China Morning
Post
• “It is also likely that the economic impact on the wider
region will prove less severe than investors first feared.
Japanese factories are vital links in many of East
Asia's supply chains” - "Economic and market fallout”
South China Morning Post, (2011, March 21, p. 12).
• “Our goal is not simply to reconstruct the Japan that
existed before March 11, 2011, but to build a new Japan”
- “Japan has made” South China Morning Post, (2012,
March 11, p. 14).
Conclusion
• Reason of differences in writing
– Geographic locations each newspaper is
published from
Thank you
