This paper analyzes newspaper reporting during the period of Taiwan ’s Morakot Typhoon Disaster. Using content analysis, four Taiwan’s primary newspapers were chosen as the samples of the current study. Based on previous studies on disaster reporting, this paper intends to investigate how the quality of the four primary newspapers’ reporting on Morakot Typhoon meets the ideal of disaster reporting during variousperiods of the typhoon. Research findings found that the four newspapers appeared to emphasize sensational stories of victims, and using government information as main news sources. The real voices of the stricken people or victim families tended to be ignored. The reporting also lacked critical or analytical examination of governmental policies. This paper concludes with some reflections on current news media practice in disaster reporting and tries to provide suggestions for future disaster reporting.
