【摘要】 重特大地震灾害往往伴随着社会破坏与群体伤亡。不同于古时视地震为“天象神话”的迷思范畴，地震类灾难新闻包含着人们对地震的认识与解释，是自然环境与社会历史相互形塑的产物。本文通过对7159篇地震报道进行分析，发现重特大地震报道经历了三个重要的阶段：1949年至1978年作为“宣传的新闻”、1978年至2002年作为“报道的新闻”以及2003年至今作为“响应的新闻”。从而完成了从宣传到响应的传播功能转向；而“救灾”“人文”与“重建”则始终是我国地震类灾难新闻的重要议题。未来，灾难新闻应进一步强化灾难响应、信息传播、文化沟通、社会协同等功能，在灾难新闻报道实践中拓展新局面。更多还原

【Abstract】 Major earthquake disasters are often accompanied by social destruction and large casualties.Different from the myths in ancient times, earthquake disaster news contains people ’s understanding and interpretation of earthquakes,which is the common product of natural environment and social history.Based on analysis of 7159 earthquake news,this article identifies three important periods: “news as propaganda”from 1949 to 1978,“news as report”from 1978 to 2002,and “news as response”since 2003. The mainstream media have completed a functional shift from “propaganda”to “response．”“Disaster relief,”“humanity ”and“reconstruction”are always important issues in earthquake disaster news. In the future,disaster news should further develop the functions of disaster response,information dissemination,cultural communication and social coordination,and develop new practices of disaster news.更多还原
