This paper discusses how subjectivity is shown through the spatial deixis in news English. The paper mainly bases on Langacker’s Construal Theory, especially the aspect of construal perspective, and it also employs the conceptualization in Cognitive Linguistics to explain the cause of subjectivity in English news. Then, it makes a further philosophical and social analysis of the cause of subjectivity in news language. On the one hand, subjectivity is a basic attribute which helps people to cognize and reflect things. On the other hand, subjectivity in news language is an efficient method through which the mass media can help to establish values of the society.
