In this paper, the news about left-behind children from the news website———www. chinanews. com, were analyzed by text mining techniques. The analysis results indicate that the policy framework oriented to left-behind children has been initially established in China, and the public-spirited activities helping left-behind children are rich and colorful. However, there is a certain gap between the services they provide and the needs of left-behind children. The left-behind children in the news have a media image of “problem children”; the news media excessively emphasized on the rural areas and families as the responsibility subjects of left-behind children; at last, the news media ignored the schools and professional social service organizations as the intervention subjects of left-behind children.
