hosted the Olympics Games for the first time. The coverage of the Beijing Olympics
Games in the Chinese media can reflect the characteristics of media and societal
development in today's China. The study examines qualitatively the use of frames in
coverage of the Beijing Olympics Games in 11 dailies and 2 weeklies in China. Four
new issue-specific frames are found in the Chinese newspapers. The use of the
existing six generic and five issue-specific frames are discussed in the Chinese
context. The study finds that the Chinese media get more freedom in some areas that
do not have direct links with politics. In the areas related to politics, the government is
still controlling the media. / Committee in Charge:
