A total of 385 people were conveniently randomizedly sampled to the survey, including 280 citizens in Beijing and 105 netizens. The results showed reporting modes by the mass media were diversified, and their truthfulness was various. Among them, 63.56% people thought the mass media reporting “medical disputs” almost supported the truthfulness, while 23.29% thought the mass media lacked truthfulness, because the format of the mass media reporting was fast speed rather than good quality. A total of 98.63% people thought the mass media has an impact on the public perception and behaviours, where 69.36% supported their positive aspects, while 30.64% showed negative.
