Based on the content analysis of historical data from Toronto Star daily newspaper and Toronto Life monthly magazine, this paper examines the media coverage of four types of geographical elements: landmark architectures, paths, districts and parks. According to the “interactive model of city-media-audience” and statistical analysis, the study shows that the quantities of news reporting or information exposing of the geographical elements rely on its underlying social functions. The urban media play an important role on information communicating, urban image representing and history recording, as well as collective memory reminding. Urban media also effects on the fate of some construction projects which might change the urban landscape. The audience, media and urban geographical elements are all eventually involved in the historical process of making a city and creating the cultural identity of the city.
