Emeka Umejei analyzes how African journalists that enter the sphere of Chinese media, often with libertarian notions of journalism, are able to navigate the collisions and collusions that inform journalism in these settings. Through extensive interviews with African journalists, Umejei explores the constant negotiation of freedomsincluding the ability to always work in relation to African realitywithin state-controlled media organizations. These interviews bring to light the paradoxical nature of Chinese media organizations that both preach equality with Africa and simultaneously promote Chinese hegemony in the media, highlighting the diverse contours that shape and influence journalism practices in these settings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Chinese Media in Africa: A Paradox of Journalism?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Framing Democracy in Chinese media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Do Chinese media organizations Tell the ‘true’ African Story?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter four: Chinese watchdogs: Journalistic role performance in Chinese media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter five: ‘Upstairs’ and ‘Downstairs’ of Gatekeeping in Chinese Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: ‘We are like Puppets’: No Freedom to Investigate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter seven: Hybridizing Journalism: Clash of two ‘journalisms’ in Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter eight: Language Differences, Segregated Newsroom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Nine: Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040866337111,"sku":"9781498593960","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498593960.jpg?v=1750948117","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chinese-media-in-africa-9781498593960","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
