Abstract:

This article analyses the structural change of Xinhua News Agency at the local level over the last 25 years and its impact upon journalistic practices. It takes account of the change in the role of journalists and the relationship with political authorities and media subscribers. The paper focuses on the case of Xinhua Shanghai bureau with consideration of the unique media ecology of Shanghai. This paper aims to provide a ‘de-Westernised’ account of the transformations of the Chinese media system as a whole and Xinhua in particular in 1980-2005. It goes beyond the theoretical polarisations in media and communications studies, notably state/market dichotomy and the global/local nexus, which tend to simplify the complex social world. Instead, the paper explores dynamic relations between the national (or the central) and the local in the Chinese context, providing a case study of the collaboration between Xinhua and Dragon TV.

Structural Change at Local Level and its Impact upon Journalistic Practices: Xinhua News Agency 1980-2005 Introduction Chinese media system is commonly taken as a case for testing whether the American model of Western liberal democracy is ‘a world standard for social governance’ (Lee 2000a: 3). Alternatively the Chinese media system is studied in relation to its impact upon the structure of international communications in the context of China’s rise. The latter case is mainly based on the assumption that
