propaganda, it may be of interest.

SEEKING TRUTH IN INTERNATIONAL TV NEWS - CHINA, CGTN AND THE BBC

This book puts CGTN (formerly CCTV-News) and the BBC’s international 
television news head-to-head, interrogating competing ‘truths’ in the 
exacting business of news reporting. Written by a media scholar and 
former long-serving BBC News journalist, the book asks if China’s 
English-language television news programmes are nothing but state 
propaganda, and if the BBC is a universal news standard to which all 
other broadcasters should aspire. This book will interest scholars of 
global media, journalism, international relations and public diplomacy, 
as well as those in academia, the media and international affairs who 
want to examine the nature of news and ‘soft power’ in a comparative 
context.
