Chinese Gen-Z’s incidental news consumption in an algorithm-driven social media environment and their perceptions of India
Domestic Accounts of China’s Belt and Road Initiative as an Internally Oriented Soft Power Exercise
China’s Belt and Road Initiative is one of the world’s largest and most significant externally oriented soft power initiatives. Originally envisaged as a series of development projects in countries on historic land and sea trade routes between China and Europe, the initiatives quickly expanded to encompass projects around the globe. The projects, funded using Chinese finances and carried out for the most part by Chinese contractors, provide tangi…
Images of China in the Australian press
Central to the study of the persuasive powers of media messaging is framing theory, an explanation of how the press presents stories through specific frames to both present information and influence readers' views on the subject matter. Drawing on a case study of news reports in the Australian press of China's one-child policy, this article shows how two additions to traditional news frame analysis drawn from related disciplines may contribute to…
The Double Burden
The rapid digitalization of China’s healthcare system, a phenomenon that accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic, had two negative consequences for a significant portion of elderly persons in China. The first is an unfortunate practical outcome: their exclusion from many health services such as online medical appointment platforms, e-prescription requests, obtaining e-referrals, and sharing electronic medical records. The second is an emotionall…
Responses to News Overload in a Non-Partisan Environment
Studies conducted in Western democratic countries with privately owned press presenting news from different ideological perspectives have found the phenomenon of news overload causes stress in media users (affective load) and this leads to news avoidance behavior. This study, conducting a structural equation modeling using AMOS 27, investigates the relationships between news overload, affective load, and consequent news avoidance behavior in Chin…
Presenting the People's Republic
Citizens' views of the political, social and economic character of foreign countries is largely based on the valence frames - positive, neutral or negative - established in newspaper articles consumed directly from the press or indirectly through republication. Looking at stories on China's one-child policy in the Australian press, the study used a mixed qualitative and quantitative methodology to investigate together all extrinsic factors that m…
Newspapers as tools to promote national agenda
Using both quantitative and qualitative content analysis, this study investigates how two Chinese Communist Party newspapers frame the same story to international and national audiences. The empirical findings illustrate how propaganda techniques originally developed and applied in Western and democratic countries have been adopted and refined by newspapers in a state-run Communist press environment to create frames that best align with the cultu…
The protection and empowerment of Indonesian female migrant domestic workers
Migrant female domestic workers are subject to an overarching system of isolation, subordination, and exploitation due to the intersection of their gender, low education, and foreign-migrant status. This is a study of Indonesian female migrant domestic workers and their actual experiences in the six distinct stages of their journey that have not been previously acknowledged. This enabled us to uncover the distinct exploitation and abuse problems …
The Impact of 'Manipulated News' on Student Attitudes and Perceptions and Their Participation in the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong
While the impact of fake news on viewers, particularly marginalized media users, has been a cause of growing concern, there has been little attention paid to the phenomenon of deliberately 'manipulated' news published on social media by mainstream news publishers. Using qualitative content analysis and quantitative survey research, this study showed that consciously biased animated news videos released in the midst of the Umbrella Movement protes…
Media use and cultural adaptation by foreign students in Chinese universities
While there have been many studies of the relationship between cultural adaptation and media usage by immigrants to Anglo countries, there have been no studies published in English of media use by international students in China. Researchers investigating media use of international students in Dalian, China initially assumed outcomes consistent with results in other locations. Survey results revealed different patterns of usage, however, most lik…
