In the digital environment, media logic permeates the development of culture and society. In recent years, Frequent animal escape events are essentially the embodiment of symbiosis and conflict between humans and nature. However, previous studies on medialization often illustrate the media logic or media power by forming individual cases of social movements. But it is a kind of establishment and infiltration of mediatization, cases without social movements and social conflicts may also show the mediatization logic of media reports.
Taking the report of "The escape of three leopards" as the research object, this paper discusses the media production of news from various media in China about animals escaping through critical discourse analysis. The paper shows that the multiple subjects involved in the event present diverse images in different media contexts, and even the same media uses disparate words to write images in different stages of the event development. All kinds of media substitute different media logic, in the report, not only cooperating to dissolve the leopard as a living entity but also close to the original situation in the conflicting reporting frame, presenting the overall characteristics of concealment. However, in the perspective of the media, the government, media, and institutions cover up the complexity and professionalism of the event together. The legalized qualitative discourse of government media, the human-based narrative discourse of market media, and the animal-based empathic discourse logic of science popular we-media are evident in the discussion of the media image writing of leopard subject, responsible subject, and zoo in this paper. How the zoo is embedded in the city, what metaphors it may contain for the human world, what role the media should play in environmental events, and what responsibilities they should take for the construction of ecological civilization in China are also discussed in the conclusion.
