This book explores the concept of authenticity in tourism through
the analysis of six tourist sites in Guangdong Province and Macau,
China. Through a review of tourism literature, it develops the
concept of pseudo-authenticity in which tourist sites and cultural
products function to give signs of authenticity for tourists. This
is achieved through the influence of media, authentic fakery, and
façadism. Readers will gain greater insight into tourist sites in
China that operate through cultural preservation, the
miniaturization of cultural assets, and the replication of foreign
signs through reproductions of foreign cities. The authors outline
the tourist sites, an aesthetic analysis, on-site interviews with
tourists, and an examination of online reviews of the sites. A
useful work for scholars and students of tourism studies in China
and around the world, especially those concerned with issues of
authenticity and the effects of commodification on cultural assets.
This edited collection brings together critical and up-to-date
assessments of how mainstream American and British media cover
their respective foreign policies, paying special attention to
'official enemies'. In the age of the internet and social media,
the reporting and commentary on world events by mainstream Western
media remains tightly bound by the way in which Western governments
promote their framing. This book explores the extent to which
historical and recent Western media coverage has reflected and
continues to reflect the foreign policies of the United States and
the United Kingdom towards ten non-Western countries: Afghanistan,
China, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Palestine, Russia, Serbia, Syria, and
Vietnam. Chapters analyse media coverage before, during and after
war and geo-political and economic conflicts. Drawing from diverse
perspectives and methods, including historical analysis, content
analysis, critical discourse analysis, and critical linguistics,
Journalism and Foreign Policy offers original insight into the
Western media's representation of important global events and
developments, as well as the key scholarly issues of propaganda and
digital media, across a wide range of recent coverage. This volume
is key reading for academics and students in the areas of foreign
policy and international politics, international communication,
media content analysis, and journalism.

This book bridges a gap between discussions about truth, human
understanding, and epistemology in philosophical circles, and
debates about objectivity, bias, and truth in journalism. It
examines four major philosophical theories in easy to understand
terms while maintaining a critical insight which is fundamental to
the contemporary study of journalism. The book aims to move forward
the discussion of truth in the news media by dissecting commonly
used concepts such as bias, objectivity, balance, fairness, in a
philosophically-grounded way, drawing on in depth interviews with
journalists to explore how journalists talk about truth.

The Political Economy of News in China: Manufacturing Harmony is
the first full-scale application of Herman and Chomsky's classic
propaganda model to the news media content of a country with a
system that is not outwardly similar to the United States. Jesse
Owen Hearns-Branaman examines the news media of the People's
Republic of China using the five filters of the original model. He
asks provocative questions concerning the nature of media
ownership, the effect of government or private ownership on media
content, the elite-centered nature news sourcing patterns, the
benefits and costs of having active special interest groups to
influence news coverage, the continued usefulness of the concepts
of censorship and propaganda, the ability of advertisers to
indirectly influence news production, and the potential increase of
pro-capitalist, pro-consumerist ideology and nationalism in Chinese
news media. This book will appeal to scholars of international
media and journalism.

Chronicles of the Heart captures the peaks and valleys of Jesse's
journey that allows the reader to be vulnerable, and victorious
over the growing pains that come from exposing fears and feelings
in each one's own romantic experiences. This helps the reader and
his or her partner to divulge difficulties and doubts. Ultimately,
the book should freely open each other's minds, hearts and souls,
helping each to experience and enjoy the journey together.
I believe my writing is a gift, although it has taken some time for
me to uncover its true value.
The title of my first book comes from my favorite personal
attribute, my brown eye and my blue eye. It has been quite a
conversation piece both with friends and strangers. The book itself
is a collection of stories, poems and beginnings written during
what I like to refer to as my "Florida Years". I hope you enjoy
reading them as much as I enjoyed creating them. Jesse Owen Taylor
