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

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:

Journalism Studies at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. Her

in China: A Case Study of the Beijing Youth Daily (2014).
