Journalism and Democracy in Asia

Media, Culture and Social Change in Asia #2

by Angela Romano (Editor), Michael Bromley (Editor)

Journalism and Democracy in Asia addresses key issues of freedom, democracy, citizenship, openness and journalism in contemporary Asia, looking especially at China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines and India. The authors take varying approaches to questions of democracy, whilst also considering journalism in print, radio and new media, in relation to such questions as the role of social, political and economic liberalization in bringing about a blooming of the media, the relationship between the media and the development of democracy and civil society, and how journalism copes under authoritarian rule.

With contributions from highly regarded experts in the region examining a broad range of issues from across Asia, this book will be of high interest to students and scholars in political communications, journalism and mass communication and Asian studies.

About the author

Angela Romano is twenty-one years old, a laid-back Christian, spunky, and, rather like a Chihuahua, has no idea—or just doesn’t care—that she’s tiny. She’s been a horse person since she was old enough to realize what an equine is and has been in love with words and stories from a young age. She loves God, animals, words, the supernatural, and well-developed characters in any book. She lives to make the world laugh and loves most everyone, though she prefers to keep her own company. She’s an avid cosplayer and looks forward to Sundays when she and her most precious people get together for Dungeons and Dragons. She is also happily involved with the most wonderful gamer-nerd Army boy in the whole world, who is not only tolerant of her obsession with anime and yaoi, but seems to enjoy it too.
