About this listen
For some in the West, being a journalist in China—especially one at a state media organisation—is seen as little more than parroting party propaganda. This caricature not only disregards the courage and dedication of many Chinese journalists but also misrepresents the complex realities they navigate as mere state coercion. How does censorship actually operate inside a Chinese newsroom? What new possibilities and constraints have emerged with commercialisation and the rise of social media? And is it possible to produce quality journalism about China without institutional backing or from another country?
To answer these questions and more, for Episode 2 of 开门见山 | Gateway to Global China, Yangyang spoke with legendary TV reporter Luqiu Luwei 閭丘露薇 and celebrated print journalist Fang Kecheng 方可成, both of whom now work as journalism professors in Hong Kong.
