This paper consists of a content analysis of Chinese and British newspaper coverage of measles/MMR vaccination in a five-year period 2006-2010. By comparing China with a western country and discussing a better function for scientific reporting and scientists' involvement in public communication, it aims to expand the research vision of science communication in China as well as making a modest contribution to the globalization of research on vaccine controversies.
