Abstract: With its vast deposits of valuable resources， the Arctic is where the common interests and concerns of mankind lie. However， with its increasing prominent advantages in both resources and geographic location comes more conflicts and frictions. This paper makes a full sample analysis of the 357 English news reports on Arctic conflicts from five major international news outlets（ CNN， BBC， RT， CBC and CCTV） since May 2012. Based on the analysis we propose ways to resolve arctic conflicts as follows: the media should promote the formation of a diversified security community and multilateral negotiation mechanism in the Arctic region with continuous objective reports on the living conditions of local residents and environmental issues. Chinese media should actively participate in objective news reporting on Arctic conflicts to help the government and the public to better understand the disputes in the Arctic region， and provides reference for China to have a louder voice in and to better respond to Arctic related issues.
