Difference between Chinese and USA media

Same data for the Olympics, different way of presentation:

Difference between Chinese and USA media

From Sina and CNN.

At Sina Olympic front page:

Chinese win women synchronized springboard

At CNN Sports Illustrated:

Phelps swimming freestyle win in CNN

Singapore news site, Channel NewsAsia:

Channel NewsAsia rather covers Thaksin

Singapore rather covers Thaksin in the front page. That’s because we haven’t won any medals yet. Channel NewsAsia Beijing Olympic site talks about the Olympic spirit, the dance and some Olympic history.

Possibly related:

  1. Singapore lost but can still sing Chinese anthem
  2. Going against Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games
  3. Channel NewsAsia got onto Digg frontpage
  4. Olympic Games 2008 is coming soon

  1. Guess the USA prefers to use total medal count rather then most golds or silvers :p

    CNN is playing the propaganda game again
    stupid west chauvinism
