For this purpose, media play an important role in guiding public’s attitude and behavior. This paper, drawing upon the methods of media and discourse analysis, with a reference to China Drug Report in 2015, does a quantitative and qualitative analysis on the drug news data of September1 2013 to August 31 2014 in China’s media. It aims to reveal the relationships of reality, policy agenda and media agenda in terms of drug issues. The findings are that though real world index shows the drug issue has become one of the most serious issues China faces, the government has raised the drug issue to the level of national security strategy, however, the media agenda has not adequately represented the drug issue. That is, there are more representations of drug as a war and more eye-attracting drug-related stories, but less medical, legal and humanistic representations. Therefore, the paper offers suggestions for the media’s drug education and drug discourse repre- sentation in the future.
