Abstract

This study aim to clarify the bias of mass media reports. As a case, we analyzed how Japanese major newspapers reported the State of the Union Address. The consideration of the political direction of US, which has a strong economic relationship with Japan, would be helpful for Japanese politics. However it is written in English, so it is inevitable for Japanese citizens to obtain the information indirectly from mass media. In order to clarify the bias of mass media reports, we chose two major Japanese newspapers and compared the percentage of words about each policy in the whole address and in the articles. As a result, it is suggested that the percentage of words about neo-liberalism in the articles is 2.77 times more than in the address, however, on the other hand, the percentage of words about Keynesian economics in the articles is 0.30 times more than in the address.
