Columbia University Press Assignment China An Oral History of American
Book SynopsisThis book tells the story of how American journalists have covered China—from the civil war of the 1940s through the COVID-19 pandemic—in their own words. Mike Chinoy assembles a remarkable collection of personal accounts from eminent journalists.Trade ReviewThe China beat is one of the toughest in journalism—and one of the most important. In Assignment China, Mike Chinoy, CNN's longtime Beijing bureau chief, has created a remarkable oral history of multiple generations of China correspondents, providing insight beyond the headlines and introducing readers to some of the committed, compassionate and colorful people who covered China for the American media from 1945 to the present day. Essential reading for understanding modern China and the history of journalism. -- Tom Johnson, former publisher of the Los Angeles Times and former CEO of CNNBy collecting the thoughts and observations of dozens of prominent journalists who have covered China for more than half a century, we get a broader and richer view of modern China and even some of the difficulties they faced in getting their stories out to the world, rather than through the eyes of just one reporter. And by arranging the insights of the journalists around specific events—whether the Cultural Revolution, ping pong diplomacy, Nixon’s trip to China, Tiananmen Square, China’s economic and social transformation—Chinoy made me feel privileged, as if I was listening in on a gathering of esteemed journalists providing their different and unique perspectives and interpretations. -- Gary Locke, former United States Ambassador to ChinaChina may be one of the most fascinating countries in the world, with 1.4 billion people, and a long, rich and consequential history. But the fact it’s also one of the most closed societies on earth, makes it almost impossible to know the truth of what’s happening there. Mike Chinoy brings us closer to penetrating that wall of secrecy with his brilliant idea of interviewing almost all (?) of the U.S. journalists who’ve covered China over the past 75 years, publishing their observations and their tales of struggle with China’s leaders to win access. This is riveting reading for anyone who wants to understand China, or cares about how great reporters do their work. -- Judy Woodruff, PBS NewsHourA rare and fascinating assemblage of first-hand accounts from decades of American journalists in China. Assignment China fills a gap in the literature on Sino-American relations and it opens a window into how Americans have formed their perceptions of China. -- David Shambaugh, George Washington UniversityMike Chinoy weaves together fascinating vignettes of the drama of changing China from the journalists experiencing them first hand. I started reading and couldn’t put it down. -- Susan Shirk, University of California, San DiegoA terrific document and a fun read. -- Matt Pottinger, China-based reporter (1998-2005) and former Deputy National Security AdvisorAssignment China is an engaging way to view the changing and evolving relationship between the United States and China...a real treat to read. * Middle East Monitor *Mike Chinoy is a pioneering broadcaster who opened CNN's first Beijing bureau in 1987. This book is based on his documentary of the same name. In each, correspondents talk about the challenges of covering China as outsiders. For those not old enough to remember, Chinoy comes from a time when journalism was considered a craft, guided by ethics—when journalists didn't have agendas. A must read for serious journalists and would-be international reporters—plus anyone who wants to understand China's contemporary history. -- Lisa Napoli, author of Up All Night: Ted Turner, CNN, and the Birth of 24-Hour News and Susan, Linda, Nina & Cokie: The Extraordinary Story of the Founding Mothers of NPRAssignment China gives readers unforgettable behind-the-scenes insights on the challenges and choices faced by journalists covering the biggest story of the past 45 years—the rise of China to the world's center stage. Organized chronologically, author Mike Chinoy is the guide who provides the context for the recollections of the reporters who faced threats, intimidation, and the risk of expulsion to cover Tian'anmen, SARS, COVID-19, and the dramatic changes in the lives of the Chinese people. I couldn't put it down. -- John Holden, former President of the National Committee on U.S.-China RelationsChinoy looks at China since the 1949 revolution and how its journey has been covered by the U.S. media correspondents who had been assigned there. Moments of insight and courage are discussed, along with the painstaking everyday challenge of trying to report the news from this massive, complicated, and secretive country. A fascinating read for China hands and those who want to understand the profession of journalism. -- Frank Lavin, former U.S. ambassador to SIngaporeOffers fascinating accounts of U.S. reporters covering one of journalism's key international beats over the course of close to a century. * Studies in Intelligence *Assignment China is packed full of such wonderful anecdotes, all delivered in conversational speech of reporters on the scene, state department officials and Chinese government personnel. I found myself tearing through the pages. For the modern China bookshelf, this is absolutely required reading. But even for casual news watchers, it’s a highly accessible and utterly engrossing history. -- David Frazier * Taipei Times *A rich story of how correspondents collected and transmitted news and their dealings with the PRC authorities at both national and local levels. * China Quarterly *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsCast of CharactersIntroduction1.

University of Illinois Press The Sunday Paper
Book SynopsisPullout sections, poster supplements, contests, puzzles, and the funny pages--the Sunday newspaper once delivered a parade of information, entertainment, and spectacle for just a few pennies each weekend. Paul Moore and Sandra Gabriele return to an era of experimentation in early twentieth-century news publishing to chart how the Sunday paper became an essential part of American leisure. Transcending the constraints of newsprint while facing competition from other media, Sunday editions borrowed forms from and eventually partnered with magazines, film, and radio, inviting people to not only read but watch and listen. This drive for mass circulation transformed metropolitan news reading into a national pastime, a change that encouraged newspapers to bundle Sunday supplements into a panorama of popular culture that offered something for everyone.Trade Review"Essential for communication collections and for anyone looking at book or literacy history of the period." --Choice"Paul Moore and Sandra Gabriele's The Sunday Paper: A Media History presents a narrative of the rise of a new form of media in an existing field of publishing power. . . .

MIT Press Ltd The Information Manifold Why Computers Cant Solve
Book SynopsisAn argument that information exists at different levels of analysis—syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic—and an exploration of the implications.Although this is the Information Age, there is no universal agreement about what information really is. Different disciplines view information differently; engineers, computer scientists, economists, linguists, and philosophers all take varying and apparently disconnected approaches. In this book, Antonio Badia distinguishes four levels of analysis brought to bear on information: syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and network-based. Badia explains each of these theoretical approaches in turn, discussing, among other topics, theories of Claude Shannon and Andrey Kolomogorov, Fred Dretske's description of information flow, and ideas on receiver impact and informational interactions. Badia argues that all these theories describe the same phenomena from different perspectives, each one narrower than the previous one. The syntactic

University of Notre Dame Press The Harrisburg 7 and the New Catholic Left
Book SynopsisDuring the first three months of 1972 a trial took place in the middle district of Pennsylvania: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA versus Eqbal Ahmad, Philip Berrigan, Elizabeth McAlister, Neil McLaughlin, Anthony Scoblick, Mary Cain Scoblick, Joseph Wenderoth. The defendants stood accused of conspiring to raid federal offices, to bomb government property, and to kidnap presidential advisor Henry Kissinger. Six of those seven individuals are, or were, Roman Catholic clergypriests and nuns. Members of the new Catholic Left.' from the introduction When The Harrisburg 7 and the New Catholic Left was originally published in 1972, it remained on The New York Times Book Review New and Recommended list for six weeks and was selected as one of the Notable Books of the Year. Now, forty years later, William O'Rourke's book eloquently speaks to a new generation of readers interested in American history and the religious anti-war protest movements of the Vietnam era. O'RoTrade Review“O’Rourke’s book on the Harrisburg trial was a classic when it first appeared and remains a classic of trial reporting, an account even forty years later that is still pertinent to our contemporary situation. His new afterword is a gem of condensed history. It is a boon to journalists, historians, and political analysts to have this book back in print.” —David Black, author of The King of Fifth Avenue and The Extinction Event“O’Rourke’s book does indeed have something of the antique and curious about it, concerning as it does, a trial in which the federal government was arraigning seven fierce opponents of the Vietnam War for conspiring to raid government offices, bomb Washington’s infrastructures and kidnap President Richard Nixon’s advisor, Henry Kissinger . . . . It is worth noting that ‘The Harrisburg 7’ remained on the New York Times 1972 ‘new and recommended’ list for six weeks after its first publication.” —ND Works“The religious antiwar protests of the Vietnam War era form the background of this reprint, which brings to life the 1972 trial of seven anti-war activists who were accused of conspiring to raid the federal offices, bomb federal property and kidnap presidential adviser Henry Kissinger. The 40th anniversary edition features a new afterword by the author . . . that includes a history of the new Catholic Left for the past four decades.” —Notre Dame Magazine“The 40th anniversary edition of this influential book, which includes a new afterword, speaks to readers interested in the religious antiwar protests of the Vietnam era.” —U.S. Catholic“O’Rourke excels at bringing Harrisburg into the story. His expansive accounts of jury selection in this conservative region show what the defense had to overcome. . . . Republication of The Harrisburg 7 and the New Catholic Left should help introduce a new generation to these important events and to refocus attention on how the Vietnam War and the antiwar movement affected the home front.” —Pennsylvania History“For the sociologist interested in religion and social movements this edition published 40 years later with an Afterword and index makes for a fascinating ethnographic read.” —Catholic Books Review

Pennsylvania State University Press Votes That Count and Voters Who Dont How
Book SynopsisExamines how journalists have portrayed electoral participation in the United States. The authors analyze depictions of voters in print news coverage over the course of eighteen presidential elections (1948-2016), describe people's reactions to those depictions, and share insights from their interviews with more than fifty elite journalists.Trade Review“Why are reporters constantly tempted to predict—or even to declare—election results before people even vote? In this fascinating book, Jarvis and Han identify a growing attitude of dismissiveness that echoes academic research on easily manipulated citizens and reinforces the public’s cynicism about democracy. They show that this condescension has serious consequences. The authors’ analytical rigor is matched by their respect and concern for everyday people: a rare and worthy combination.”—Peter Levine,author of We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: The Promise of Civic Renewal in America“Jarvis and Han report that American journalists over six decades have inadvertently put campaign strategists in the driver’s seat and rendered voters as mere passengers. Moreover, campaign journalists were surprised that their concern for debunking strategists had undermined their attention to voters as active participants. Citizens disliked stories treating them as spectators and preferred stories treating then as empowered participants. This book offers important insights and a pathway toward improved campaign journalism and voting.”—Craig Allen Smith,author of Presidential Campaign Communication: The Quest for the White House“Votes that Count and Voters Who Don’t offers a rich understanding of how the language of news reports on presidential elections often impacts voter participation and turnout negatively. The centerpiece of this analysis is a nuanced content analysis of the trends in the appearance of three key words--vote, voter, and voting--in news reports across a sixty-eight-year period. Supplemented by experimental data and interviews with journalists, these results identify ways that news reports can enhance participation in elections.”—Maxwell McCombs,author of Setting the Agenda: The Mass Media and Public Opinion“Votes That Count and Voters Who Don’t will be invaluable reading for scholars, journalists, and citizens who care about elections—not just about who wins them, or the microscopic analysis of voting behavior, but about the fundamental exercise of power that elections represent. Jarvis and Han show us how it matters when journalists portray voters as those who are acted upon rather than as empowered democratic actors.”—Regina G. Lawrence,Executive Director, George S.

Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in America. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down. In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic Trump presidency - Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide - the journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable.

Here are his contentious children, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone.

Book SynopsisA career-spanning selection of the legendary reporter David Carr’s writing for the New York Times, Washington City Paper, New York Magazine, the Atlantic, and more. Throughout his 25-year career, David Carr was noted for his sharp and fearless observations, his uncanny sense of fairness and justice, and his remarkable compassion and wit. His writing was informed both by his own hardships as an addict and his intense love of the journalist’s craft. His range—from media politics to national politics, from rock ‘n’ roll celebrities to the unknown civil servants who make our daily lives function—was broad and often timeless. Edited by his widow, Jill Rooney Carr, and with an introduction by one of the many journalists David Carr mentored, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Final Draft is a singular event in the world of writing news, an art increasingly endangered in these troubled times.

Taylor & Francis Rethinking Public Relations
This new (third) edition of Rethinking Public Relations continues the argument of previous editions that public relations is weak propaganda. However, while earlier editions focused on PR as representative of the uneven power distribution in society, this book goes further, conceiving the power of PR as more than just structural but also as having an important rhetorical component. In this extensively revised edition, Moloney and McGrath dissect the nature of the modern PR industry, arguing that its idealised self-presentation should be replaced by a more realistic and credible defence of the societal value produced by advocacy and counter-advocacy. This book includes expanded coverage of PR's impact on society (through areas such as CSR, sponsorship and community relations), its relationship with stakeholders, and its role in democratic debate and public policy making. It also considers the ways in which journalism has capitulated to PR in an era of fake news' and c

Book SynopsisFilm viewing presents a unique situation in which the film viewer is unwittingly placed in the role of a multimodal translator, finding themselves entirely responsible for interpreting multifaceted meanings at the mercy of their own semiotic repertoire. Yet, researchers have made little attempt, as they have for literary texts, to explain the gap in translation when it comes to multimodality. It is no wonder then that, in an era of informed consumerism, film viewers have been trying to develop their own toolboxes for the tasks that they are faced with when viewing foreign language films by sharing information online. This is particularly the case with South Korean film, which has drawn the interest of foreign viewers who want to understand these untranslatable meanings and even go as far as learning the Korean language to do so.

Taylor & Francis Publics in Africa in a Digital Age
Across Africa, digital media are providing scholars with a reason and opportunity for revisiting the question, and the analytical lens, of publics with new vigour and less normative baggage. This book brings together a rich set of empirically grounded analyses of the diverse digital spaces and networks of communication springing up across the Eastern African region. The contributions offer a plural set of reflections on whether and how we can usefully think about these spaces and networks as convening publics, where citizens come together to discuss matters of common interest. The authors make clear the need to unshackle such studies from slavish acceptance of outsiders' prescriptions on what constitutes desirable publics. They highlight the importance of being attentive to rapidly changing everyday realities across Africa in which people are coming together around the circulation of ideas in ways that include digital means of communications. In so doing, the contributions br

The author, as one of the leading researchers in interpreting studies, is in a strong position to lead the project.

WW Norton & Co Thats Not Funny Thats Sick The National Lampoon
Book Synopsis"Smart, knowing, and deeply reported, the definitive history of one of modern American humor’s wellsprings." —Kurt Andersen, author of Fantasyland, host of NPR’s Studio 360Trade Review"This idea of a magazine’s personality kept coming back to me as I read Ellin Stein’s charming and detail-rich new history of the National Lampoon, That’s Not Funny, That’s Sick, because it is not really a history at all, but a portrait. You can’t pick your offspring’s personality, and the way a personality develops on its own, involuntarily, through an array of influences of varying importance and salience, echoes the way the Lampoon personality emerges in the pages of Stein’s book—through a pastiche of eyewitness recollections, some of them contradictory, many of them fascinating, and all accompanied by the author’s breezy running commentary on the cultural storms that swirled in the background." -- The Daily Beast"A worthy addition to the comedy library." -- Michael Precker - Dallas Morning News"Stein’s description…is dazzling." -- Hollywood Reporter"This rich history of humor, commerce, and backstage conflict is recounted in lively prose and admirable detail by veteran entertainment writer Ellin Stein. Buttressed by dozens of original interviews, as well as access to older ones and to all the yellowing back issues, That’s Not Funny, That’s Sick captures neatly the eccentric personalities and fiery times that converged to propel radically offensive material to the forefront of the American consciousness." -- Boston Globe"For one thing, the history of the Lampoon is a good story, and Stein may be the first person to devote so much of a book to it who doesn’t have her own ax to grind." -- A. V. Club"Stein understands not only the value of engaging reportage, but the importance of story. Setting the stage socially and historically, she…follows the Lampoon's many tributaries and side projects without getting too bogged down explicating jokes." -- Matthew Love - Time Out New York"It’s not much of stretch to call this exceedingly thorough and wildly entertaining history of modern American comedy a bible on the subject. Ellin Stein goes deep and dirty on the topic…. A book that will serve as a cultural reference work for the ages. And a blast from the past to read." -- Weekly Standard"Stein offer detailed portraits of the people behind the magazine’s success in a seminal time when politics and comedy intertwined with incendiary results…. A serious treatment of a funny topic." -- Booklist"Stein leaves no tangent unexplained and no petty grievance unaired as she traces the magazine’s evolution and growing fame." -- Publishers Weekly"If you ever picked up an issue of the National Lampoon, or misspent your youth in the sixties and seventies; if you ever wondered about the origins of Saturday Night Live or, in fact, ever had any interest in the course of American humor from the late sixties onward, this is a book to read…. That’s Not Funny takes you on a ride through what was, arguably, the heyday of American humor." -- Ellary Eddy - Realize Magazine
