A propos du livre

Revue de presse

As the transnationalisation of media studies gets under way, we need more comparative studies of the everyday practices that go to make up media in different places. Rong Zeng's thoroughly researched and clearly written study of news production in the UK and China is an important contribution to that new agenda for media research. --Nick Couldry, Professor of Media and Communications, Goldsmiths College

This book offers a valuable and unique comparative insight into journalistic norms and practices in two very different cultures. While current debates tend to be dominated by the impact of globalisation, new technology and changing business models, this book addresses vital questions about newsrooms routines, approaches to accuracy and ethics, notions of professionalism and traditions of story-telling within a comparative analytical framework. It throws a fascinating spotlight on the similarities as well as the differences in the practice of journalism in two very different cultural environments. --Steven Barnett, Professor of Communications, School of Media, University of Westminster

The publication of this book is timely. Chinese media institutions have embarked on a massive expansion of international operations and are struggling to achieve recognition in a world heretofore dominated by the Anglophone media and Anglophone cultural traditions. From the UK s leading media research institute, CAMRI, comes this very relevant product of one of its star students. It is valuable not only to scholars but also to the media industry in which the author has now successfully established herself as a programme maker as well as a thinker. --Hugo de Burgh, Professor and Director, The China Media Centre, University of Westminster

Présentation de l'éditeur

Published here for the first time is a comparison between competing television channels, British and Chinese, showing how different cultural values, and world views, bear upon the business of news production. Despite similarities in technology and organization and the rapid development of transnationalism, globalisation nonetheless has its limits. At a time of radical economic and technological change, Zeng goes inside the newsrooms to analyse their news products and bulletins at first hand in order fully to understand the limits and opportunities for global journalism in today's rapidly changing world. This project is the only study so far to compare broadcast journalists and their working practices in the UK and China. It will contribute to the Anglophone knowledge of Chinese television journalists and news production as well as to Chinese knowledge of British journalists and news production. It will also contribute to the field of comparative journalism and endeavours to understand global journalism in different national and cultural settings.
