Description:
"This is the first extensive examination and assessment of Chinese national television news from a long-term point of view. The project covers a 7-year time span, beginning with the deepening of China's economic reforms in 1992 and ending with 1998, when CCTV celebrated its 40th anniversary. The theoretical framework that guides the book is the sociology of knowledge perspective, the essence of which - social construction of reality - underpins the analysis of CCTV news throughout the study period."--BOOK JACKET.
