Demystifying Asian Values in Journalism

by Xu Xiaoge

Asian countries have long sought Asian ways to conduct journalism in the face of both Western media dominance and Western influences in journalism education and practices. Central to such efforts is an ongoing debate over the relationship between the press and Asian values. Xiaoge (communication and information, Nanying Technological U., Singapore) undertakes an investigation of the contexts, evolution, features, limitations, contributions, and implications of Asian values in journalism; he analyzes government speeches, conference papers, journal articles, and books for clues to what makes Asian journalism Asian.
