The outbreak of the Coronavirus in the Chinese city of Wuhan has wreaked havoc across the world. Worldwide, the
number of people infected with the virus has reached more than 1,880,000, while more than 118,000 have killed till
14th April 2020. In the early January this year, the news of an outbreak in China spread like a fire across the world,
and the aggressive manner in which the western media introduced the outbreak created fear and uncertainty around
the globe. To analyze the impact level of the coverage on COVID-19by global media comparing with Chinese news
content from January 1st to 20th March 2020, we have reviewed web-based newspapers as a tool of data collection
for content analysis of research.
The results suggest that the news framing of COVID-19 in global media psychologically affected the people, causing
panic and fear, which has adversely affected the business, economy, and routine life worldwide. The results reveal
that 27.6% of the Chinese news coverage has a high impact on readers, comparing with global media, where
harmful content has recorded 93.75%. The results also suggest that sensational news made the conditions caused by
the Corona virus more serious. The sensation created by the world media at the beginning of the outbreak left a
significant impact on the viewers that caused panic, uncertainty, and apprehension.
