As the fastest growing medium ever recorded, the internet has
offered spectacularly different means for collecting, producing,
organizing and disseminating news. Within the ever-increasing
literature and research on web journalism worldwide, the US- and
UK-based academic studies actually far outweigh studies of anywhere
else. This book, therefore, is an attempt to contribute to the
diversity of the global communication study by analyzing Chinese
mainstream web journalism in a global context. It explores the
distinctive forms of journalism that have emerged in mainstream
news websites in mainland China. Two case studies, the 2008 Beijing
Olympic Games and the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009, are employed
to identify features in Chinese and Western news online.
Specifically, a comparison is made between the in-depth news
sections of popular mainstream news websites in China and those in
the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. This book
should be useful to professionals in the field of new media studies
cross cultures, or anyone else who may be interested in comparative
journalism studies.
