Эта книга представляет собой первое фундаментальное исследование роли прессы в Китае и того, как китайское правительство использует СМИ для формирования общественного мнения. Население Китая, насчитывающее 1,3 миллиарда человек, может быть самым многочисленным в мире, но подавляющее большинство китайцев придерживаются удивительно схожих взглядов по широкому кругу вопросов благодаря единому посылу, который они получают от жёстко контролируемых государственных СМИ. Официальная точка зрения формируется на самом верху в организациях вроде Синьхуа и Центрального телевидения Китая, а затем транслируется в региональные и местные СМИ, создавая иллюзию множества голосов с единым посылом, который усиливается на каждом уровне. В результате, китайцы удивительно единодушны по широкому кругу вопросов как внутренней, так и внешней политики.
Эта книга знакомит читателей не только с экономическим чудом Китая, но и показывает, как гигантский государственный медиа-комплекс не только влияет на общественное мнение, но и формирует его. В книге рассматривается широкий круг вопросов, от Тибета и Тайваня до окружающей среды и торговых отношений с США, через призму информационного агентства Синьхуа. Повествование ведётся от лица официального информационного агентства Синьхуа, рассказывая его историю и освещение событий за годы существования, что является фундаментом для повествования всей книги.
You hold this book in your hands. The only book on this table that could have been written by its teenage self.
Western journalism is trained in the art of good looking: profiles, candid moments, human stories. Chinese (state sponsored) media has taken the dark art of propaganda very seriously, so if you were to have led a very normal life before you started reading, you might honestly think this is a political investigation into the practices and inner workings of power. The cover calls it the 'first deep-level look at the role the media plays in shaping China'. This is undoubtly hype, but is also what is enticing people to take part in this kind of reading ""project"".
Doug Young splits into smaller chapters for each specific aspect of chinese state sponsored media coverage, such as Xinhua news ("making up stories we won't investigate"), CCTV news ("controlled access to lenses and interpretations"), state run radio stations (""rooms of repainting""), public speaking ("words that can kill"), and much more. There are many historical footnotes but little reference to internationalisation (other than ""They should be [you're country here]s problem too"" still haunts me softly when I come across those). Most strangely written yet strangely intreeating sections feature stories like the grass roots engineer creating citizens theatre to combat perceived propaganda (Tibetian Urgyen Lingpa's most famous work ;) "). Ending chapters deal with trade, national Cyprus and the fighting words strategy against her (High profile condemnation by influential western figures, specifically targeting a politician known to having visited hostile chinese forces in 1958).
Asmo japanese culture aficionados will feel wronged by Young's conclusion that WWI sized Chinese warriors was probably just gossip. Then again, looking at the size of some of Young's conclusions, and all the words and passions tossed around *certain speculation must become mere gossip* for added issues like political correctness.

Описание книги от DOUG YOUNG
The first in-depth, authoritative discussion of the role of the press in China and the way the Chinese government uses the media to shape public opinion China's 1.3 billion population may make the country the world's largest, but the vast majority of Chinese share remarkably similar views on these and a wide array of other issues, thanks to the unified message they get from tightly controlled state-run media. Official views are formed at the top in organizations like the Xinhua News Agency and China Central Television and allowed to trickle down to regional and local media, giving the appearance of many voices with a single message that is reinforced at every level. As a result, the Chinese are remarkably like-minded on a wide range of issues both domestic and foreign. Takes readers beyond China's economic miracle to show how the nation's massive state-run media complex not only influences public opinion but creates it Explores an array of issues, from Tibet and Taiwan to the environment and US trade relations, as seen through the lens of the Xinhua News Agency Tells the story of the official Xinhua News Agency along with its history and reporting over the years, as the foundation for telling the story
