Abstract—News headlines can effectively condense the primary material of the report and highlight the most important topics. This article provides an in-depth look at the differences between China Daily and Voice of America in their coverage of the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic. Through this study, a more comprehensive understanding of the media’s role and reporting style in health crises can be achieved, along with an in-depth analysis of how these reports reflect differences between countries and cultures. These distinctions reflect how different countries’ cultures and beliefs are represented in news reporting.
Keywords—China Daily, COVID-19, report headlines, Voice of America
