Britain VS China: A comparison between competing television channels exploring how cultural values and world views bear upon the business of news production.

Despite similarities in technology and organisation, and the rapid development of trans-nationalism, globalisation has its limits. At a time of radical economic and technological change, Rong Zeng in Television News and the Limits of Globalisation goes inside the newsrooms to analyse their products and bulletins first hand in order gain a deeper understanding of the limits and opportunities for global journalism in today's rapidly changing world.


This project is the first and only study which compare broadcast journalists and their working practices in the UK and China. Zeng's findings will contribute to the field of comparative journalism by endeavouring to understand global journalism in different national and cultural settings.
