China Reporting is an oral history showing how the China
correspondent of the 1930s and 1940s constructed his or her news
reality or the network of facts from which their stories were
written. How these men and women pooled information and decided
upon the legitimacy of particular sources is explored. The
influences of competition, language facility (or lack thereof),
common personal backgrounds, camaraderie, and changes in American
official China policy are also discussed, with special attention
paid to the prescriptive, gatekeeping role of editors back home.
This is an approach which has often been applied to the domestic
journalist. China Reporting is a pioneering effort at using
historical perspective to view the foreign correspondent in terms
fo the total epistemological context in which he or she operates to
produce the news that in turn provides the data base upon which the
public and policy makers inevitably draw. This title is part of UC
Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of
California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the
brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on
a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality,
peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using
print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in
1987.
