The World Seen From China: How the Emerging Circuit of Chinese Foreign Correspondents Shapes China's View of the World

The proposed research is an ethnographic study of foreign correspondents who work for major Chinese media: the national television CCTV, the official English-language newspaper China Daily, and the highbrow weekly and online newsmagazine Caijing/Caixin. The study will focus on London and Johannesburg, where the main European and African offices, respectively, of the three companies are located.
