The motivation behind this work was to analyze the attitude of the journalist through his 5 serial articles, concerning the local referendum about the construction of nuclear power station, which had written after having interviewed in 4 areas. The articles were composed by his description and the opinion of interviewers : supporters, objectors and others. Employing a mathematical method, the analysis of the articles will be focused on more attention to find out the general trend and opinions. The multi-resolution analysis is capable of extracting and discussing the detailed information of 4 areas. The examination of the multi-resolution level suggests that the indication of intention of inhabitants depends on the extent of chains where they live. Furthermore, it is clarified that the journalist maintains his attitude of neutrality but it seems that he presses indirectly inhabitants for indicating their intention by devising an order of articles.
