This lively book explores individual and societal changes in
contemporary China through the compelling personal accounts of
young Chinese journalists. China's media are central to public life
in the most populous nation on earth, and have also become
increasingly relevant to communication and understanding on a
global scale. Through a series of engaging oral histories, Judy
Polumbaum puts a human face on vital political and philosophical
issues of freedom of expression and information that will shape
China's future. The author's extended and frank conversations with
journalists from a range of news outlets reveal diversity, passion,
humor, and optimism that belie the stereotype of journalists as
cogs in a rigidly controlled machine. Neither dissidents nor
paragons but rather people working day in and day out within
China's existing and evolving media, these talented and ambitious
reporters open new windows to understanding Chinese journalism and
intellectual life. Some of their tales could happen only in China;
others will resonate with readers everywhere. As the first book to
explore experiences and ideas of everyday journalists who are
helping to shape their rapidly changing country, this unique and
timely work will appeal to all those interested in China's dynamic
society.
