主题简介：

全球的新闻理念更多地倒向一种理想主义的、西方中心的、自由资本主义模式，尤其是在比较或者评价其他国家媒介制度的时候。在21世纪，由于越来越多的批评指向自由资本主义媒介制度的缺陷以及对于另类媒介制度的诉求，这一“冷战”思维的二元对立框架正在逐渐失去解释力。我将尝试着从以下四个媒介研究的角度参与上述学术批评，分别是：媒介所有权，媒介的议程设置功能，信息的来源和有关客观性的新闻话语。这一尝试基于我近来所做的有关中国和美国新闻业的政治经济与社会学研究。我希望通过这些研究和反思，考察美国新媒介研究如何从中国的新媒介研究中获得启发，比如对这些概念的超越：所有权、议程设置、信源和客观性。

Abstract: What American journalism studies can learn from China?

The search for universal journalistic norms has, more often than not, turned to an idealized Western Liberal-Capitalist model, which it then used as the yardstick to judge other media systems around the world. This Cold War-style binary is becoming increasingly irrelevant in the 21st Century due do both sustained academic critiques of Liberal-Capitalist media systems and the development of viable alternative media systems. This paper will attempt to contribute to the above critiques, focusing on four areas of media studies; ownership of media, media’s agenda setting function, sourcing of information, and journalistic discourse on objectivity. It will draw on recent political-economic and sociological research on Chinese and American journalism in order to see what American news media studies can learn from Chinese news media studies in regards to the above concepts of ownership, agenda setting, sourcing, and objectivity.
