Scandals, Wars and Social Satire
About
Scandals, Wars and Social Satire: The invention of ‘news’ and negotiations of ‘news values’ in Late Qing ChinaWith a selection of case studies on news coverage, spanning from individual stories to war reportage or social commentary in the form of satire, the presentation aims to illustrate the spectrum of what was conceived as 'news' featured in the Late Qing press in its nascent stage. It will then analyse the far-reaching consequences of these news items in terms of legal, social, and political dynamics within the new historical and international context. Subsequently, it will examine the ensuing transnational negotiations surrounding 'news values,' explaining how and why certain determinations were made and what implications these might have had for the future transformation of the public sphere in Republican China.
