[ecrea] New book - Chinese War Correspondents - Covering Wars and Conflicts in the 21st Century

Fri Oct 28 07:31:04 GMT 2016




My research monograph entitled Chinese War Correspondents - Covering Wars and Conflicts in the 21st Century has been published by Palgrave MacMillan in October 2016.

About the book:
This book engages with the Chinese mediation of wars and conflicts in the global environment. Proposing a new cascading media and conflict model, it applies this to the study of war correspondents from six levels: media-policy relations, journalistic objectivity, role perceptions, news framing and peace/war journalism, news practices, and audience.

Based on interviews with 23 Chinese journalists and case study analysis of the Libyan War, Syrian War, Afghanistan War and Palestinian-Israelis Conflict, the book demonstrates that a new breed of Chinese war correspondents has emerged today. Neither traditionally Chinese in their approach nor western in their perceptions, they are uniquely pragmatic in negotiating their roles in a complex web of internal and external actors and factors. The core ideology seems to be anti-West in defiance of the US hegemony and the bias of global media as well as neutral-Muslims.

Exploring the role perceptions, values, norms and practices of contemporary Chinese war correspondents who go outside China to bring the ‘distant culture’ back home, this text is key reading for scholars and students in international journalism, international communication, war and peace studies, international relations and Chinese studies.

About the author:
Shixin Ivy Zhang (Ph.D., University of Leeds) is Associate Professor in Journalism Studies at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. Her first research monograph is Impact of Globalization on the Local Press in China: A Case Study of the Beijing Youth Daily (2014).
