Uncertainty Avoidance, News Genres and Framing of Traditional Chinese Medicine
This study explores how news media in different countries, varying in Hofstede’s cultural dimension of uncertainty avoidance, frame traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It also examines how news framing of TCM differs between the two main news genres: news reports and editorials. A comparative content analysis of 196 news pieces on TCM from seven countries was conducted. The results indicate that a country’s uncertainty avoidance index (UAI) influ…
Ten years of transformation
This study investigates the evolution of American news coverage of China over a period of ten years, comparing the portrayals during the Chinese president’s initial and fifth visits to the United States (US) in 2013 and 2023, respectively. Previous research on media coverage of foreign countries suggests that foreign policy and bilateral dynamics significantly influence the media’s use of agendas and tones when reporting on issues related to the …
Becoming Ayi
The term ‘Ayi’ (Auntie) has often been used in a less discriminatory way than ‘Baomu’ (Nanny, Maid) to describe female domestic workers from outside the immediate family. Research into the development of the concept of ayi interrogates the identity construction and transformation of female domestic workers as part of the emergence of a post-socialist market economy. To understand the lived experiences of this social group which could provide us w…

Warm in 2008 Versus Cold in 2022? A Comparison of China-Related News in the US Media During the Beijing Summer and Winter Olympic Games
This study investigates the evolution of American news reports on China hosting the 2008 Summer and 2022 Winter Olympic Games, within the context of changing China–US relations. Existing studies on media coverage of the Beijing Olympics typically focus on either the Summer or the Winter Games individually, with none exploring the specific associations between bilateral relations and the agenda-setting processes of the US news media. To fill the g…
Shaping and Reshaping Narratives
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics offer a unique lens to examine media portrayals of China as a host nation amidst global polarisation and nationalism, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our special issue explores these dynamics through four key themes: (1) Western English-language media sentiment towards China during the pandemic; (2) the influence of China–US relations on China's portrayal in US media across two Olympic Games; (3) Chinese soc…
Image of a city in the local and global media
Suzhou City in East China is well known within the country for its booming economy and rich culture but less so internationally. This study focuses on a comparative analysis of the construction of Suzhou's image in different cities and countries through multiple media platforms to explore the variations in themes, narrative styles and promotion strategies. Adopting the quantitative approach, the authors selected 1265 texts from 2015 to 2020 for a…
Selective Censorship on Rightists and Leftists? An Observation and Analysis of Censored Social Media Posts in China
This study examines whether social media censorship in China is selective for online social groups of different ideologies, namely rightists and leftists, what content generated by these groups is censored, and what censorship methods are employed on the two groups. To answer these underexplored questions, we observed censorship practices on Sina Weibo for a full month and collected and analyzed the censored social media posts of both rightists a…
Framing international news in China
This research explores the variations between Chinese party and non-party newspapers in the framing of trans-edited international news. Existing studies on the framing of Chinese domestic news show that the variations depend on the sensitivity of news, which invokes government control. However, it is not clear how strictly the government would control international news and whether party and non-party news organizations would show similarities or…
Self-Caging or Playing With the Edge? News Selection Autonomy in Authoritarian China
This article studies how the political affiliation and administrative rank of news organizations in a nondemocratic setting affect news selection autonomy. While existing studies have found that further commercialization contributes to more news selection autonomy, the extent to which political affiliation and administrative rank of news media explain autonomy remains unknown. Eight Chinese news organizations of varying political affiliations and…
Central State vs. Local Levels of Government
Negotiating the boundaries of news reporting
As Chinese politicians hold the power to control the dissemination of political information, beat journalists must guard their relationship with the authorities to expand the boundaries of news reporting; that is, to gain more access to political information and report more sensitive news. What remains a puzzle is how beat journalists can possibly expand these boundaries. Data from participatory observation and in-depth interviews with journalist…
How framing of nationally and locally sensitive issues varies? A content analysis of news from party and nonparty newspapers in China
This study investigates how party and nonparty newspapers in China frame sensitive political issues differently, depending on their geographic relevance. Extant studies indicate that political control influences how news organizations present an issue. The assumption is that the framing of nationally sensitive issues is similar across Chinese news outlets, while the framing of locally sensitive issues diverges. An examination of the news frames u…
