Review
This book offers a valuable and unique comparative insight into journalistic norms and practices in two very different cultures. While current debates tend to be dominated by the impact of globalisation, new technology and changing business models, this book addresses vital questions about newsrooms routines, approaches to accuracy and ethics, notions of professionalism and traditions of story-telling within a comparative analytical framework. It throws a fascinating spotlight on the similarities as well as the differences in the practice of journalism in two very different cultural environments. --Steven Barnett, Professor of Communications, School of Media, University of Westminster
The publication of this book is timely. Chinese media institutions have embarked on a massive expansion of international operations and are struggling to achieve recognition in a world heretofore dominated by the Anglophone media and Anglophone cultural traditions. From the UK s leading media research institute, CAMRI, comes this very relevant product of one of its star students. It is valuable not only to scholars but also to the media industry in which the author has now successfully established herself as a programme maker as well as a thinker. --Hugo de Burgh, Professor and Director, The China Media Centre, University of Westminster
