CFP: EMERGING CHINESE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MEDIA

"Emerging Chinese theory and practice of media" is the focus of a 2018 
issue of the journal Languages Cultures Mediations (Issue nr. 2 vol. 5, 
publication December 2018). Co-editors Hugo de Burgh, Emma Lupano, and 
Bettina Mottura would like to remind their invitation for submissions of 
full papers by 30 June 2018.

RATIONALE
China has developed its own model of media management and journalism 
since the foundation of the People’s Republic of China. This model, 
which traditionally encompasses a very strong relation between politics 
and media practices, has evolved over the last 40 years of reforms. At 
the national level, it has transformed into a much more complex and 
nuanced system based on the mediation between political, commercial and 
professional interests.
At the international level, the ambition of China to contribute to the 
media agenda and flow of information has grown significantly.
In recent years, the Chinese discourse on the media has focused on the 
importance of innovation and quality of national media production as 
well as on strengthening China’s influence on international news 
production. In this changing context, it is important to examine the 
evolution of the idea and practice of the media in the country. The 
volume aims to explore the emerging Chinese theories and discourses on 
the role and functions of the media as well as on journalism values and 
practices, also in comparison with the global stance(s). Authors are 
invited to submit proposals stemming from a wide range of methodological 
perspectives. Contributions based on primary sources are particularly 
welcome.
We welcome submissions for the Vol 5 (2018) - No 2 - "Emerging Chinese 
theory and practice of media" of the journal Languages Cultures and 
Mediations
