Title: Causes and Countermeasures of Demonization of Teachers’ Media Image
Abstract: In today’s media-dominated era, any individual’s words or actions can be amplified and rapidly spread, potentially causing negative impacts. In recent years, the demonization of teachers in media coverage has become increasingly prominent. This phenomenon not only affects teachers’ mental health and teaching motivation but also creates obstacles to effective instruction. Drawing from the Bellamy’s Law framework, this paper analyzes the root causes of this issue through three dimensions: problematic teachers as the source, media amplification, and societal stereotypes. It proposes practical strategies to improve teachers’ media image.
