Research into Chinese media organisations : the case of Xinhua Shanghai bureau

Xin, Xin (author)

This article examines the impact of media marketisation in China upon organisational structure and journalistic practices of Chinese news organisations. It aims to assess to what extent market factors have weakened the centralised control over local journalistic practices in the last two and a half decades. This paper focuses on Xinhua Shanghai Bureau, a local division within a central news organisation, Xinhua News Agency, which is headquartered in Beijing and operates nationwide. This article looks not only at the news institution itself, but also at how news organisations interrelatewith other institutions. In other words, the paper explores structural and journalistic changes in connection with a set of relations, which a Chinese news organisation has to deal with, existing relations within and outside the organisation.

Abstract

Članek obravnava vpliv tržnega preoblikovanja medijev na organizacijsko strukturo in novinarsko prakso v kitajskih novičarskih organizacijah. Na primeru lokalnega šanghajskega biroja kitajske tiskovne agencije Xinhua hoče ugotoviti, koliko so tržni dejavniki oslabili centralizirani nadzor nad lokalno novinarsko prakso v zadnjih 25 letih. Članek ne obravnava samo novičarske organizacije, ampak tudi njeno povezanost z drugimi institucijami.
