The telecommunications and electronic media industries (TEMI) of China
have experienced rapid growth since these industries were reorganized
and reformed in the market-oriented direction. With the development of
globalization and westernization, China's TEMI, despite a local issue,
have already been included in the news agenda of Western media and
observed worldwide. What was the reality of China's TEMI in the the
global environment? What and how did Western news portray the reality of
China's TEMI? What more about China's TEMI could be found through
academic research than business reports? This book examined such kinds
of questions quantitatively and qualitatively. Grounded in the
theoretical frameworks of the agenda-setting theory, the framing theory,
the reality constructed by media, and determinants on foreign news
coverage, questions about China's TEMI were investigated for tracking
the reality and trends over time, especially how China's TEMI were
framed in Western news. This book is addressed to telecom and media
industry investors, analysts, and consumers who are involving in China's
telecommunication and media development. It is also directed towards
young scholars or research beginners in the field of journalism,
communication and media studies.
