Differences in BBC and CCTV Coverage: An Applied Validation of Cultivation Theory
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Every country in the world has its own media organization, so why is there a difference in perspective and content between media organizations around the world? This paper will use the BBC and CCTV as examples to try to explain the reasons for the differences between the different media and further explain the underlying principles behind the variation in media coverage in the context of cultivation theory. People can see that the factors contributing to this difference are complex and may include the nature of the media itself, the collective interests it represents, and the significance of the events it covers for the media.At the same time, the laws of media operation also play an important role behind the scenes, leading to all these differences, and the different reports may also be due to the application of different media theories. This paper will elaborate on the above factors.
