It has the biggest scale of publishing in China and enjoys a high status in Chinese media. While as one of the three top US newspapers, New York Times has a strong influence on the social opinions.

　　　From the table, we can see that a “disaster description” report occupies the largest proportion in these two papers. People's Daily has twice as many diplomatic reports as the New York Times.
