Reviews

Updated and insightful analyses of the politics and culture of investigative journalism in China, which provide a robust thermometer for assessing the trajectory of media practices---especially the prospect for the logjam of press control to be broken in a Communist-capitalist media system. -- Chin-Chuan Lee, Chair Professor of Communication, City University of Hong Kong This volume considerably expands our knowledge of investigative journalism and its practitioners in China, with original empirical work that sheds light on reporters' education and socialization, newsroom practices and strategies, journalists' aspirations and frustrations, and a variety of other topics. Of particular note is the focus on illuminating regional and local variations along with national patterns and trends. -- Judy Polumbaum, University of Iowa
