This book argues that the gap between the official transparency
rhetoric and the censorship reality has demonstrated the
discrepancy between what the Party is and what it claims to be.
Such a discrepancy is manifested by the reality that the reformed
news industry, a hybrid of market-oriented commercialization and
party-state control, has largely failed to deliver either the voice
of the disenfranchised groups or the value of journalism. To
observe the discrepancy, this book investigates the role of
transparency in the Chinese news media. Media transparency, which
goes beyond the issue of censorship and press freedom, has been
undermined by the consensus reached between the party-state and the
media on political and market control. It is this mutually
accommodating and benefiting scheme between power and profits that
has been hollowing out the substance of the transparency rhetoric
and distorting the Marxist idea of press freedom as freedom for
all. This book argues that the cause of such a gap between rhetoric
and reality is rooted in the disjuncture of political
representation of both the party-state and the profit-seeking
media.
