《经济学人》的“中国眼镜”

约记者 何思佳

专访英国《经济学人》总编辑及中国编辑

1843年9月2日,《经济学人》正式创刊。 1843年12月,它第一次转载了关于中国的轶事:一个外国人在中国买火腿,结果买到了外面包着猪皮、里面裹着木块和泥巴的“假火腿”。这些受骗的外国人认为,“无论谁与中国人打交道必须慎之又慎,哪怕是这样也还是容易被欺骗。”

如今,在全球拥有超过100万销量的《经济学人》依旧表现出了对中国的持续关注。2012年, 《经济学人》在其网站的中国博客——“论语”专栏开篇致辞中,自称为“中国报道的老手”(Old Hands)。 Read more

英国媒体人的“中国报道观”

记者 何思佳

2011年8月1日,美国纽约时代广场2号楼高19米、宽约12米的显示屏上,出现了新华社及其下属的新华网、新华新闻电视网、中国国际文化影像公司等公司的形象片。这并不是中国首次在西方人面前塑造“中国形象”。随着中国的经济发展和国际地位的增强,中国越来越关心自己在其他国家眼中的样子。大量举办与国家形象展示及公关相关的各种会议。在研究如何对外宣传的同时,中国政府和学者也在分析西方媒体对华的态度及其原因。这些结论大多保持着相似的口径:西方媒体正在或多或少地对中国社会及中国政府进行污名化。

有人还试图对此现象进一步做出解释,从体制、经济、文化、政治等角度去分析这种让国人困惑和愤怒的现象。比起这种架空性的理论探索,我们也许可以采用更好的办法,即去聆听西方媒体人对此问题的看法,这或许也是揭开迷局的捷径。 Read more
