As a kind of communication media, newspaper is an important position to shape the image of the country, the image of political parties and the image of the army. Through a large number of objective, realand vivid examples, the news of flood fighting and emergency rescue in People’s Daily has shaped the glorious images of the People’s Army as a loyal guardian who listens to the party’s command and can come at the call, a brave and fearless Great Wall of steel, a caring and dedicated people’s child, a well-behaved army who has committed no crimes and has strict military discipline, and a united force that cooperates with the inside and outside. The primary and secondary balance between disaster-stricken issues and disaster-relief issues, the organic combination of heroic narrative and ordinary narrative, the dual use of the self perspective and the other perspective, and the unified interpretation of factual truth and emotional truth all constitute the basic strategies for its news to shape the image of the People’s Army. Strengthening the confidence and determination of the people in disaster areas to overcome natural disasters, strengthening the flesh-and-blood ties between the People’s Army and the people, highlighting the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s core position as the ruling party and enhancing the people’s internal recognition of socialism are the multiple political effects of its news in shaping the image of the People’s Army.
