/Reporting China on the Rise: Habitus and Prisms of China 
Correspondents/, by Yuan Zeng, University of Leeds

(Routledge Focus on Communication and Society)

ISBN 9781138586413

Description:

Drawing on the structural-constructivist framework of journalistic field 
and habitus, Reporting China on the Rise examines the internal and 
external dynamics which are shaping the work of foreign correspondents 
in China during Xi Jinping’s tenure.

This study presents findings from extensive surveys and interviews with 
current and former correspondents based in China. It aims to explore how 
they have responded, and continue to respond, to pressures from within 
the journalistic field (such as a transforming media industry), as well 
as from constant shifts in global geopolitics, and China’s increasingly 
restrictive journalistic environment. These factors are shown to work 
together to relationally define the news production practice of these 
correspondents and, ultimately, shape the final news product.

Journalism in modern China has become a widely discussed, yet gravely 
under-researched topic, both for policy-makers and academics. Reporting 
China on the Rise seeks to open up discussions around the role of the 
foreign press in generating meaningful media coverage of this growing 
superpower. It will be an invaluable resource for students and 
researchers of Journalism and Media Studies.

Advance Review:

'As China struggles to enhance its "soft power" commensurate with the 
perceived world-power status, what is the role of foreign correspondents 
and what are the prisms through which they narrate their China tales in 
an ensemble? This volume provides a riveting account of the lifeworld of 
foreign correspondents in China and contributes importantly to the 
comparative dimension of media and journalists.'
