Investigative journalism emerged in China in the 1980s following
Deng Xiaoping's media reforms. Over the past few decades, Chinese
investigative journalists have produced an increasing number of
reports in print or on air and covered a surprisingly wide range of
topics which had been thought impossible by the standards of the
Communist era. In the 2010s, however, investigative journalism has
been replaced by activist journalism. This book examines how, with
the aid of new media technologies and in response to new calls for
social responsibility, these new-era journalists vigorously seek to
expand the scope of their journalism and their capacity as
journalists. They tend to perceive themselves as more than
professional journalists, and their activities are not limited to
the physical boundaries of newsrooms. They are not only detached
observers of society but also engaged organizers of social
movements-they are social activists as well as responsible
journalists who challenge state power and the party line and point
to the limitations of the more traditional conceptions of
journalism in China. This book analyzes how journalism in China has
been gradually transformed from a tool of the state to a means of
broadening calls for democratic reform.
