Yunnan and Henan are the two provinces in the country that were affected the earliest by HIV; they remain the most seriously affected. Newspapers play an important role in the framing of epidemic and shaping public opinion. This paper compares the news coverage of HIV/AIDS in China by four popular newspapers published and distributed in Yunnan and Henan from 2001 to 2008. By examining the frames embedded in news discourse, the study aims at uncovering similarities and distinct characteristics of news coverage of the epidemic in the newspapers of the two provinces. In doing so it will explore how the social reality of HIV/AIDS in China is constructed in different provinces, identifying the factors that influence such construction. The results from the analysis revealed the following: (1) that prevention-education frame and political-socioeconomic-cultural frame are the two dominant frames across the four newspapers; (2) that dominant public discourse surrounding HIV/AIDS in China is still morality-centered; and (3) that stigmatization, prejudice and discrimination remain towards those with HIV. The results presented in this paper were from an ongoing PhD research conducted at Macquarie University. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of International Journal of the Humanities is the property of Common Ground Research Networks and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
